Yves Jamait

On March 21, 2026, at the Denain Municipal Theatre in Denain, Yves Jamait unveils a narrative concert built around the work of Maxime Le Forestier, a figure who marked his adolescence and steered his path as a singer‑songwriter. On stage, he retraces the thread of this formative encounter, blending memories, texts and songs to map his own route through Le Forestier’s repertoire. Spoken word slips between the numbers, reminiscences inform the arrangements, and the singing links the intimate with collective memory.

Yves Jamait is accompanied by Michel Haumont, a fingerstyle guitarist and regular collaborator of Maxime Le Forestier, whose precise, delicate playing illuminates the harmonies, and by Jérôme Broyer, Jamait’s stage partner for more than ten years, who brings nuance and breathing space to the whole. Together they create a spare, organic set—between folk, chanson and storytelling—where one hears as much a declaration of attachment as a musical journey. A moment designed to make listeners hear familiar songs differently, by placing them at the heart of an artist’s trajectory.
