Rédèr Nouhaj

Rédèr Nouhaj is the instrumental one-man band of Frédéric Jouhannet, violinist with the Rouen collective Les Vibrants Défricheurs. Hooked on recordings of traditional music from the Caucasus that he found in Russia, he plays several violins while keeping time with his feet on a Bulgarian tapan, a travel trunk and home-made sound objects.

His album Cocaz Malax came out in March 2020 on Label Vibrant, and his show Cavalcade en Cocazie has passed 200 performances, including tours with JM France. In 2025 he won Best Small Ensemble at the YAM Awards in Estonia.

He played Les Mouillotins in 2022, at the 20th edition.
