Mentors & Amis, Collaborateurs

Ethnical music exploration is an exiting process . But besides passion it needs deep knowledge and tireless work. Yannick Loyer is the person who has all skills and passion to deliver most interesting ethnic music examples and gives the new breath on contemporary venues.

I met to Yannick first time in Georgia, in Pankisi valley in 2015. He studied there Chechen traditional and sacred songs from women Ensemble Aznash. It was very interesting meeting for me as a film director. Therefore I decided to make documentary film about this story. So, after many years relationship I can freely say, that he is really talented and interesting person as an artist. He is always In the process of searching spirituality, which is deeply hidden around us. Good luck to him.

Beau souvenir d’un bel élan commun où, dans l’ensemble Cantil’am, nous jouions et chantions pour le bonheur du plus grand nombre et où, grâce à la profondeur de ces chants et les harmoniques de nos instruments, ces moments de fluidité intérieure faisaient chanter notre âme, apportant à notre immédiateté, une vraie nourriture de l’esprit.. Des bases étaient déjà posées quant à l’avenir artistique de notre compère,Yannick…

Yannick is a talented singer, good manager, sociable and honest person. Working with him is a great honor for me. He is an etalon(role model) person for me. I learned a lot from him. He has made a huge contribution to my career and I thank him for that.

First time I met Yannick was in Teheran in 2015. We had take rendez-vous few weeks ago to drink a coffee together. I didn’t know at this time that will start a great friendship together. Five years full of great moments, full of friendship and music. We start to work around sacred, folk and traditional music from many countries. He teaches me many good things. He is not just a talent man around music. He has a great heart too. Working in Georgia Motherland with yannick is a great honor for me and i hope this friendship continues for ever.

Nous avons été honorés de recevoir à la Maison Soufie, les femmes tchétchènes d’Aznash Laaman, qui ont illuminés les âmes du public par des chants soufis ancestraux et ce grâce au travail de l’infatigable Yannick Loyer et de sa chère épouse qui n’ont de cesse de partager les trésors que recèlent la vallée de Pankisi et la Géorgie de manière générale. Puisse leur travail trouver écho en France et ailleurs afin de nous permettre de découvrir le patrimoine culturel et spirituel de l’humanité dont nous avons tant besoin pour apprendre à aimer à travers toutes les manifestations de la Beauté Universelle.

Yannick, il collecte des chants, des sons, des vibrations… et puis, il les partage, il fédère avec les chanteurs et danseurs d’autres pays, il crée un groupe pour le plus grand plaisir de nos oreilles et de notre cœur !
