Trojan Panda - Joie De Vivre by Jozef Dumoulin

Full album to be released on March 31st 2021

What happens if two piano players, two saxophone players and a bassoon player take up three guitars, a bass and a drum kit? In this band - and old-phantasm-fulfillment - Jozef Dumoulin unites some of the most creative young voices of the music-scene in France. They’re determined to express their love for music in this peculiar way, for what is all but a practical joke.

With ‘Peau’, Trojan Panda delivers an exciting sonic object that draws from various sources, such as rock, experimental music, improvised music and jazz. but most of all the music stands on its own, as an invitation to let go of all preconceived categories, and as a declaration of love to sound, motion, playfulness, wonder and simple trust.
