Ink - Afro Roots

Both irreverent and accessible, INK’s music defies conventions and breaks down barriers. Drawing its language from jazz and improvisation, the high-energy quintet led by drummer and composer Victor Gachet expands into a septet and engages with African oral traditions in a dialogue with our roots.

Following on from the album African Roots, released in June 2024, and to continue this exciting human and artistic adventure, INK unveiled their new single Deni in 2026, blending Burkinabè vocals with contemporary jazz.

Through a collaboration with Burkinabé musicians, INK weaves together in this show a reflective exploration of a multifaceted creative work, rooted in African and Afro-Caribbean traditions, and presents a modern and contemporary jazz that draws its inspiration from the great tradition of jazz quartets as much as from the conventions of electronic music and the energy of African music.
