Program Fira B! 2023

Alexandre Delange was born in Paris to a French painter father and an Argentine psychoanalyst mother. The youngest of three siblings, he grew up in a family with many cultural and artistic influences. His childhood was divided between Paris and the island of Formentera. At the age of 10, he began to learn to play the piano and little by little, enjoying the lessons of his teacher, he decided to focus on jazz and improvisation. Soon he began to venture as a self-taught composer. He then created a multitude of musical projects with musicians from Formentera in which he experimented with the fusion of very different styles (jazz, soul, rock, funk, Latin music, Balkan, flamenco...). In 2016, he began to create (as a pianist and composer), a soul music project in France that will bear the name of Kimberose. In 2017, he signed a publishing contract with his partners and they embarked on the recording of a first EP " Probably Me ". After having presented the EP on a TV show, the group receives the proposal to record an album with the label " 6 and 7 " directed by Pascal Negre (former president of Universal Music), and to start a tour with one of the most important production companies in France (Gérard Drouot Productions). After having achieved a gold record (in physical sales) with "Chapter One", the band has been touring for more than 2 years in the most important venues and festivals in Europe (Olympia, Jazz à Marciac, Montreux Jazz Festival, Nice Jazz Festival, Jazz a Cartage...etc). After returning from a tour of Germany, Alexandre Delange decided to settle permanently on the island of Formentera, where he began to create with island musicians his first personal project as a leader. In the middle of the pandemic, he finished composing and arranging a dozen musical pieces inspired by burning issues of our contemporary society. In September 2022, after having recorded several titles with the collaboration of the eminence of flamenco jazz Gautama Del Campo and with the participation of Joaquín " Cani " Huertas, José Borjas and Gabriel " Kathir " González, he released his first single called " Politicians Waltz " (" El Vals de los Políticos ").
