TRIO BAROLO 5TET

Following a residence at the "Jazz Amphi" of the Lyon’s Opera in December 2016, the Barolo Trio regularly invites musicians such as Antony Gatta and Carjez Gerretsen to form a quintet.

Antony GATTA

Percussions

Antony Gatta has taken his drums and drumsticks all over Europe and beyond since he was eighteen. His passion for mediterranean music and percussions has driven him to modify his child's drumkit into a set of percussions reflecting his sensibility, his travels, his encounters...Traditional and urban music, improvisation, song, he has played with a variety of musicians on stage or in studio, with Dezoriental, Houria Aichi, Alain Leperst, the Imperial Quartet, Romain Didier, Joce Mienniel's Babel, Zenzila, les Ogres de Barback, Dub Inc., Riff Cohen, Jean Guidoni, Julien Lallier's "La Escucha Interior", Jaal, the Eric Teruel quartet, Karimouche... He also composed and performed the musical scores for two documentary films by Bertrand Schmit for the France 5 channel, "Tankers en plein ciel" and "Tigres en plein ciel", and of the play "Fille de" for the "Théâtre du Crabuge" company. To the Barolo trio, he brings his feeling for colour, his knowledge of mediterranean music and his irresistible sense of groove.
