LE BAL DES MONDES is a reverence to all the musics of the world, those that make you dance, those that incite you to travel.

 

The compositions are situated between jazz, pop and world music. They draw their inspiration from France, the United States, Brazil, the Caribbean, Madagascar, Spain, Morocco and even propose to go and discover what is hidden behind the Moon... .

 

With an album in Quartet, no less than 10 guests and an orchestra of 17 strings for the album, the Bal des Mondes is one of the most ambitious projects of Marc Berthoumieux. His compositions make us travel around the world with timeless themes.

 

We find on stage this same perfume of space and freedom.

The group triggers in real time some sounds from the album.

 

- This project has received extensive media coverage with no less than six videos and three teasers designed by two different directors.

 

- These videos exceed to date the 100 000 views for this project alone on social networks. Marc Berthoumieux's Youtube channel has more than two million views and over three thousand subscribers.
