Their music is ethereal, stripped down and unconventional: “a trap like a net floating in warm water between light and shadow, at the crossroads of several continents,” (24 heures, 2023). It is nourished by the roots of Mascarene blues, which carries the scent of salt and earth, and by the Creole hues of the Indian Ocean, infused with the flavours of sega and maloya, and bolstered by a touch of soul. Founded in 2013, the TWO has opened for greats like Johnny Hallyday and Ben Harper, among others. Carried by Yannick Nanette’s heady, piercing voice and Thierry Jaccard’s sensitive, incisive guitar playing, the duo displays a heartwarming rapport forged by years of touring and performing together.
