KIKU

*For the japanese band, see 菊. KiKu was founded by trumpeter Yannick Barman and percussionist Cyril Regamey. The two musicians met during their studies at the academy of music in Lausanne. Both Barman and Regamey are very fond of improvised music and composing and thus decided to found an acoustic duo and fly to New York, where musical encounters took place and were multiplied. In February 2003 KiKu matured further because of an experiment at the Theatre de l’Orientale in Vevey (CH).
