OZMA

Active since: September 20, 2001

Eight albums to their credit, 450 concerts on four continents and in 39 countries, collaborative multidisciplinary projects with artists from all over the world. So many dialogues and generous exchanges that have continued to feed the work of OZMA lead by drummer and composer Stéphane Scharlé.

Since 2001, OZMA has taken us on journeys, across continents but also musical styles, borrowing largely from rock grammars, traditional music and electronic landscapes. Like a willingness to hear John Coltrane interacting with Rage Against The Machine, Ravi Shankar jamming with Pink Floyd, or Amon Tobin hitching up with the fanfares of New Orleans... In addition to their singular jazz, OZMA has developed a real sensitivity for composing music to fit with image which gave birth to many photoconcerts including <em>Crossroads</em>, a 2019 creation resulting from the meeting with European, African and Asian photographers; <em>20!</em> A tribute to two decades of democracy in South Africa; or <em>1914-1918, Other Looks</em> reviving an unpublished photographic archive of the First World War.
