Jean 20 Huguenin

Jean-Vincent Huguenin : guitar

You can't just say that Jean 20 Huguelin is a member of the Swiss band Débile Menthol. You have to mention as well how humorous and iconoclast the band was.

This Swiss band must last until 1985 and then became Nimal (with among others Tom Cora). This shows that accordion can be used in an inventive and personal context.

Then Jean 20 Huguenin will found "L'Ensemble Rayé" and since 1986 he has composed soundtracks for the cinema or the theatre (such as "Le Déséquilibre Du Patineur" for the universal exposition in Sevilla in 1992). But he still is a street musician, he belongs to those who think that the street would be "the absolute stage, the place where you learn the most".

This is an artist's work in constant evolving behind which outlines a strange and attractive world thanks to a atypical Swiss artist.
