Hermon Mehari

The trumpetist, trained in jazz in one of its heartlands - Kansas City, waited until the global pandemic to explore the musical aspects of his ancestral culture. In September 2021, during the recording of Sélène Saint-Aimé' second album, an artist Hermon accompanies on record and on stage, Antoine Rajon suggested he compose an album entirely dedicated to his family heritage.
