Marius Pibarot

Based in Paris, Marius is half French, half American. He plays violin, double bass, mandolin, sings and composes. He studied jazz at the Paris region conservatory (CRR), and with Christian Howes in the US. He goes to the US once a year, especially New York, to play and learn in the bluegrass, old time and jazz scene there.

He leads his own duo violin/cello, in which he mixes his own compositions with other tunes and songs of as many influences as the different bands he's part of (bluegrass, Armenian, Tukish, Venezuelan, French music...)

Plays violin, double bass, cuatro, and sings, in the Collectif Medz Bazar which composes et arranges the traditional musics from Anatolia, Caucasius and Balkan, adding jazz, hip-hop, bluegrass and latino influences. The kind of music which breaks mental and political barriers thanks to its lyrics and energy.
