VI.BE

On stage, an artist reveals a side of his personality that one can rarely see in the everyday life. He can experience questionings or doubts but sometimes certainties are a way to assert himself. Following this idea, the French-Brusselair trumpeter Pierre-Antoine Savoyat creates « Le Monde Merveilleux de Pepito » (« The Amazing World of Pepito »), the nickname of this side in which he is without filter and deeply sincere.

The beginning of this world was born in Chalon sur Sao?ne in Burgundy (France) and the project grew up in Brussel, especially on the legendary scene of the Sounds Jazz Club. With the complicity of young musicians and friends from the Belgian capital, Pierre-Antoine offers an organic and surprising music, where improvisation and reinterpretation describe stories, unique atmospheres and human emotions.
