7th Edition — Rolando Luna, from Buena Vista Social Club to Pays de Retz
The 2025 edition of the St Hil Jazz Festival offered a rich and varied program, highlighted by the performance of Cuban pianist Rolando Luna. A collaborator with the Buena Vista Social Club for over ten years and co-founder of the group El Comité, Rolando Luna delivered a vibrant concert, infused with Afro-Cuban rhythms and pianistic virtuosity.
Saturday also featured guitarist Rémy Hervo in a trio with a guest, and the quintet Amblar, a Toulouse-based formation exploring contemporary jazz territories. On Sunday, in the relaxed atmosphere of the musical brunch, Youenn Derrien's trio enchanted the audience with their gypsy jazz, followed by The Hookup quartet led by singer Axelle du Rouret.
