La FanfareDuLoup and Frères de Sac 4tet join forces to present the Grand Bal Métissé, a vibrant event featuring folk, popular, swing music, and more. La FanfareDuLoup, a Geneva-based musical collective founded in 1978, is known for its diverse creations spanning jazz, rock, contemporary music, and reimagined classical works. Frères de Sac 4tet, originating from the Grenoble collective MusTraDem in 2016, breathes new life into traditional European repertoires from Brittany to Sweden. Together, they redefine musical traditions with an expanded sonic palette.
In early January 2022, two construction vehicles belonging to a Swiss multinational were set on fire at a gravel pit in the Geneva countryside. Over a year later, a young man — referred to as Jérémy — was arrested and suspected of involvement in the arson. Held in pre-trial detention, he was released after more than three months, following strong public support and mobilization.
