Peemaï
ETHNIC GROOVE
Peemaï’s inspiration comes from Asia. From Laos to Indonesia but also from urban culture of its 4 artists. A “no border” music with hypnotic rhythms and haunting melodies, mixed with joyful reinvented traditional songs. A unique and generous musical set, shared with jovial complicity and communicative energy, carried by powerful grooves and improvisations, both sensitive and virtuoso.
Peemaï was born in 2016 at the National Theater of Sète. Then, they traveled South East Asia for their first tour, beginning in Vientiane Jazz Festival in Laos. Today, with more than fifty concerts in France and abroad, Peemaï is constantly reinventing. The international artistic collaboration with the Indonesian Gayam 16 collective, about Gamelan, created the repertoire Gaga Gundul. Peemaï’s music offers a joyful musical journey, spreading smiles and happiness.

Peemaï
Peemaï was borned in 2016 at the National Stage in Sète. Then, they traveled in South East Asia, for special tour, beginning at the Vientiane Jazz Festival in Laos.
En 2017, riches de leurs expériences et d’une collaboration avec des musiciens laotiens, ils créent leur premier disque éponyme, coproduit par Shreds Records et le Collectif Koa, distribué par L’Autre Distribution, remportant un certain succès (FFF Télérama, Disque ÉLU Citizen, Disque du Mois Jazz News).
Aujourd’hui, après une cinquantaine de concerts en France et à l’étranger, Peemaï se réinvente sans cesse, s’inscrivant dans une démarche d’échange avec des musiciens originaires d’Asie du Sud Est et de partage. La musique de Peemaï propose un voyage musical joyeux, où le sourire de ses interprètes se propage parmis leur auditoire, en rituel d’un bonheur partagé.
