R!X - Facebook

After years of developing his funk, R!X released his first solo album "NOOBA" in 2017 in which he plays guitar, sings and plays bass and keyboards. This versatile musician produces a progressive funk located between the American soul-funk planet and his own idea of pop. On stage, he affirms his sound identity and deepens his groove in a style that is unique to him, anxious not to stick to all the clichés of the genre.

Musicians : Rix (Lead, guitar, Wurlitzer ), Geoffrey Shob Neau (Bass), Olivier Leani (Drums), Xavier Duprat (Orgue & clavinet), Valentin Foulon-Balsamo (Saxophone), Jérôme Dubois (Trompette), Jean-loup Siaut (Guitare) et Caroline Turtaut (Choeur)

Oakland

Oakland is the meeting of a collective of musicians from Bordeaux who wish to pay tribute to the mythical Californian band of the 70s, Tower of Power, which is still in operation. To celebrate the 50th anniversary of their elders, Oakland was offered you a repertoire retracing the evolution of this legendary American soul/funk band.

Musicians : Wilfried Deurre (Lead vocal & background), Adeline Ouvrard (Lead vocal & background), Isabelle Ouvrard (Lead vocal & background), Stephane Mazurier (Keys), Nicolas Veysseyre (Bass & background), Mickey Fourcade (Drums), François-Marie Moreau (Tenor Sax & background), Bertrand Tessier (Tenor Sax), Cyril Dumeaux (Baritone Sax), Franck Vogler (Trumpet) et Pascal Drapeau (Trumpet)

The old school of Saint-Emilion was be transformed in a special place with animations for children: biodiversity workshops (create your own medicinal plant garden, small gestures for the planet, braiding vime...) and a children’s tales place.

To end these three exceptional days as it should, the Jurats in procession was marched with torchlights from the House Guadet to the Tour du Roy. All eyes was then turned to the sky to contemplate a magnificent closing firework display.

The "tétrodon" project was developed by Jacques Berce and Henri Ciriani of the AAU (Bordeaux).

They offer a modular housing based on a 30-foot container whose volume is increased using polyester shells. After several prototypes from 1970 onwards, tetrodons switched to mass production, but in 1973, the first oil shock and its impact on petrochemical-based products put an end to tetrodons, whose total production had reached a small number of thousands, most of which had disappeared. There are a few examples in Darwin (Bordeaux) and one in the Bouches-du-Rhône, which was awarded the "Heritage of the 20th Century" label in 2012.

The copy saved by the Biotope Festival association in order to preserve one of these copies constituting a Gironde heritage is installed in the palus of Saint-Sulpice-de-Faleyrens on private land in order to propose a Biodiversity Observatory.

Located in a wetland area characterized by a great wealth of fauna and flora, it will become a base site for walks to discover the fauna and flora. Fauna and flora are recorded within its walls via educational panels. Its equipment allows night observations to be made. Inside access is only by appointment at the Biotope Festival.
