Blanche Marguerite

France & Germany | Melody

Blanche began her musical journey in childhood with classical violin training, but it wasn’t long before she fell in love with the sounds of French folk music. After a few detours (including the bagpipes), she discovered her true calling in the Nyckelharpa, a Swedish folk instrument. She spent a year at the Eric Sahlström Institute in Sweden, immersing herself in the traditions and techniques of Swedish folk music. Today, her focus is on Swedish folk traditions, yet her musical explorations have taken her far beyond. Drawing inspiration from a variety of musical styles, her repertoire and artistic projects have flourished on an international scale—thanks in large part to Ethno. Ethno has filled her life with music and joy, offering much more than just new melodies. It has allowed her to travel to new places, build lasting friendships, and connect with diverse cultures through the universal language of music. Since 2022, she has been organizing and mentoring Ethno gatherings, driven by her passion for providing young musicians with the opportunity to embark on this unique and enriching musical journey.

Jonas Malfliet

Belgium | Harmony

Jonas Malfliet broke his little finger when he was three years old. Nothing too bad, his mother said. The only thing he won't be able to do, is become a professional musician. However, it turns out he quite stubbornly didn't want to listen to his mother, and nowadays cannot keep his fingers off the black and white keys! He pops up with his accordion in world music groups such as Damast Duo and Jiraan (with Syrian violinist Shalan Alhamwy), and the eight-piece belgo-brazilian party band Euforró. He accompanies theater productions and is artistic leader on several international music camps. Furthermore, he enjoys nothing more than jamming 1001 nights with musicians from the most diverse traditions, trying to figure out what music he likes to play best. Nobody knows which tune he’s going to play next, least of all himself. But one thing’s for sure: you’re in for a surprise.
