𝐄̈𝐬𝐞𝐧𝐚𝐢𝐦 (live) Ësenaim was born from the urge to turn field experiences into something that could be felt, heard, and shared. After years of humanitarian work with Médecins Sans Frontières (MSF)—from cholera outbreaks in Haiti to displacement in Congo and floods in South Sudan—Sarah Guefif and Michael Casera returned home with memories that words alone could not carry. Since 2016, they have collected sounds and written poetry during missions—capturing voices, atmospheres, and landscapes that reflect human resilience and the complexity of life in crisis zones. From this grew Ësenaim.: a project where electronic music, poetry, and visual storytelling meet to create immersive performances rooted in testimony. A live set in sound and moving visuals, a journey to places that many of us have forgotten or don’t know about.
𝐋𝐨𝐲𝐚 (live) La Reunion Loya is the project that mixes traditional music from the Indian Ocean ( Reunion island, Madagascar, Mauritius, Comoros) and electronic music. As an electronic composer and producer, playing live shows with a special modular circuit setup of synthesizers. With his Blakaz projects, Loya continues his musical exploration of the Indian Ocean, a journey that began in Mauritius, Madagascar and the Comores islands, working together with local traditional musicians. The ancestral pulse meeting the electronic textures of Loya’s modular synthesizer, which extends, transforms, and reinvents them. Each album is a dialogue, a bridge between islands, generations, and sound worlds. Each piece is inspired by everyday life, nature, and the symbols of the archipelago. From these encounters emerge hybrid soundscapes that are both organic and electronic, poetic and spiritual. The traveler moves from village chants to the oscillations of machines, from earth to water, from memory to creation
