Yusan
‘Yusan’ is a group created in 2016 after an unexpected artistic residency in Chamonix. This is a genuine friendship story that results in a common desire to make music together. An obvious alliance for these artists with very strong musical signatures, but share influences as a collective legacy, and a complicity that they put at the service of creation.
The name ‘Yusan’ came about by chance, a contribution by a friend of the band. It is the Korean word for “legacy” and perfectly sums up the way they see their own music. From these “strong individual identities and a common legacy”, ‘Yusan’ makes its jazz travel from Caribbean music to African rhythms, through songs, gospels sounds and urban influences. This mix is the sextet’s signature, where everyone naturally finds his own place.
