Irène Jacob

Artist Description

Although acclaimed actress Irène Jacob and her brother, composer and guitarist Francis are on two different sides of the ocean, they don’t feel apart. They always longed to write songs together and bring them to the stage. For both, this musical venture is privileged space, their secret platform where they meet and freely create a new virtual life, somewhere between Brooklyn and Paris. With support from global musicians--Senegalese bassist and Harry Belafonte collaborator Mamadou Ba, Afro-Peruvian percussion scion Pichio--the sibling duo breathes vibrant life into pensive ballads and playful songs.

"I found, in Irène, the singer, the rarety, the taste and the sensibility of Irène, the actress. That fills me with delight"  -Georges Moustaki
