Beyond world music and its corny clichés, nearest to Manu Chao and those artists who do not ‘contaminate’ musical styles, but simply transform their life in music, the result of a thousand influences and life experiences. Sandro Joyeux has been one of the surprises of the “Primo Maggio” 2015 concert in San Giovanni square (Rome). Born in Paris in 1978, globetrotter by vocation, his music is a bridge between Africa and Europe, and in fact he has been called the “white griot”. Sandro Joyeux has travelled for more than half a million kilometers with his guitar to collect traditions and dialects and sounds of the South of the world. He sings in French, English, Italian, Arabic, and in various dialects such as Bambarà, Wolof, Dioulà. The Sandro Joyeux concert is an injection of pure energy and joy a mystical journey, accompanied by its warm and intense voice, through the rhythms of the desert and the dusty roads of West Africa, between the Parisian banlieues and the reggae of Jamaican ghettos. Sandro Joyeux sings in French, English, Arabic and several African dialects. He is an ironic and light-hearted performer, enchanting and captivating, just like a griot Sandro Joyeux bewitches the audience with his suggestive travel stories or the legends linked to the songs, he takes people by the hand and make everybody sing out loud in exotic and unknown languages.
