Jérémie, 19, and Samuel, 17, will perform under the title "Rezonans" with the subtitle "Frwi transmision ek lodas," a choice made by their father, who has been instrumental in their musical journey. The brothers have been taking music lessons at the Mo'Zar Espace Artistic workshop since they were young, where they discovered their passion for jazz. Their father encouraged them to pursue music alongside their studies, and they have since traveled to various countries to hone their skills.
The brothers' musical journey began when they were just a few years old, with their father introducing them to music and even buying them their first guitars. Jérémie and Samuel have attended several music workshops abroad, including a two-week program at the prestigious Berklee College of Music in Boston, where Jérémie is currently pursuing a three-year Undergraduate Performer and Arranger course. Samuel may follow in his brother's footsteps after completing his secondary education.
The upcoming concert at the Caudan Arts Centre will mark the brothers' first stage performance, and they will be accompanied by experienced musicians, including Patrick Desveaux, Samuel Laval, Jocelyn Armandine, and Fabien Gourdin. The concert will feature a 1 hour and 45-minute performance, including two original compositions and several jazz arrangements. The brothers have been rehearsing extensively, with coaching from Philippe Thomas, Linley Marthe, and Dario Ramdeal.
Jérémie and Samuel's parents have played a significant role in their musical development, providing a supportive environment and encouraging them to pursue their passion. Their father, in particular, has been instrumental in their journey, pushing them to take on new challenges and believe in themselves. The brothers' humility and dedication to their craft have earned them recognition, and their concert is expected to be a sold-out event.
The Mo'Zar Espace Artistic workshop, where Jérémie and Samuel began their musical journey, has been a launching pad for many young Mauritian musicians. The workshop provides a platform for young talents to develop their skills and gain exposure to different genres of music. Jérémie and Samuel's success is a testament to the workshop's impact on the Mauritian music scene.
Jérémie and Samuel's musical influences are diverse, ranging from jazz to other genres. Samuel, who plays the trumpet, cites Philippe Thomas as a significant influence, while Jérémie, who plays the bass guitar, has been inspired by various musicians he has met during his travels. Their music is a reflection of their Mauritian heritage and their exposure to different cultures.
The concert at the Caudan Arts Centre is a significant milestone in Jérémie and Samuel's musical journey, and they are expected to make a lasting impression on the audience. With their talent, dedication, and supportive family, Jérémie and Samuel are poised to make a name for themselves in the music industry.
