An instinctive voice, deep, aerial.
Soul explorer, she loves new spaces and intensity.
Her singing invents, invites, opens up…
For her, singing is heart centered.
It connects with the higher self, to others, to all things alive, within us and around us.
It is a precious vibration opening doors, creating bridges, offering and liberating.
Her singing journey has taken place along personal moments, when rocking her children,
whispering to the sound of rivers, imitating the sound of water and the wind blowing.
Then, there was her latest son’s birth, enabling the free flow of instinctive sound to take place in emergency.
And lastly, her meeting with an opera singer, voices’ midwife, leading her to strength.
Since then, she keeps exploring with her voice, all kind of different worlds in various artistic and healing fields.
Now she offers assistance in the discovering of our own inner music, as well as working on a new voice’s project with hospitalized premature children.
She views vocals as an organic function, natural and vital, setting into action an invisible strength of primary healing and conciliation.
As an improvisation’s choice, it feels to her like an invitation to present time, a tension release, a pure moment of truth that we don’t own, like a traversing song, permanently renewed.

Lionel Varga Dollet
Since childhood, he has shown interest towards sonorous and visual languages.
His maternal uncle teaching him some guitar chords, he is off practicing this instrument continuously to date.
Destined to a teacher’s career, he left this path to concentrate on the music.
He participate to a variety of projects:
Etat Major: recording at Virgin in 1982.
Passion Folder: 5 albums recorded between 1985 and 1990, then 2 compilations at Barclay. International tours. Residency in Los Angeles for 2 years.
He composes music for dance and cinema.
During a 12 months stay in Senegal (1992/93), he meet and work with his ‘’rhythm master’’: Griot Abdou Beryl Seck.
He comes home transformed and returns to musical composition.
Musician/comedian in a theatre play created during ‘’les Transmusicales de Rennes’’.
Once in Aude region, he becomes the guitarist of Psi Zivot (Eastern Europ music), between 2000 and 2005 (one album, several concerts in France and Spain).
He teaches music (workshops, nurseries, schools, reception centers and prison…).
He has composed a repertoire of songs and instrumental music.
In recent years, he has explored the medicinal dimension in art and especially in music.
He realizes the extent of the pleasures that percussion offers during a parade
on a truck in the streets of his small town at the age of eleven.
A few years later, he starts playing congas and drums
and since then the rhythm has not left him.
Its evolutionary set consists of a cajon for the base,
decorated with cymbals, drums and a little electro.
His eclectic career and his musical tastes make styles
as varied as reggae, soul, variety or ethnic music.
An inspired percussionist with a sweet and warm groove.
Elegance and precision at the service of a deeply alive music.
The finesse of his game brings the group a rhythmic touch
at once earthly and delicate.
