Joëlle Esso is a multi-talented artist : painter, comedian, dancer, backing and solo singer. The stage is her school. She has accompanied various artists : Jean-Michel Jarre, Carol Fredericks, Yannick Noah, Jimmy Cliff, Manu Dibango, Céline Dion, Tina Arena, Dee Dee Bridgewater? Then, the need to express her own emotions grows. She's inspired by her homeland, Cameroon. This whirl of cultures and styles calls to a pause, a minimalist expression, an inner listening. This is the trip you're invited to through her music she calls Afroback (CD "Mungo !"). She composed the music of the feature film Les Saignantes (the Bloodettes) by Jean-Pierre Bekolo Obama in 2005 (Toronto-world premiere-, Torino, Cannes, Ouagadougou, Carthage, Durban, Barcelone, Bruxelles film festivals?). She sang in the documentary Plume (Feather, Fly Times Pictures, 2006) for the Primary Arts Museum, Paris. She played a singer (with her own songs) in Jean Cocteau's Le Bel Indifférent in 2006 at the Guichet Montparnasse theater, Paris. She performed live at differents theaters and venues such as Unesco Paris or Harvard University?
