The Artistic Journey of Aïlack
Aïlack is a male vocal quartet founded by Fabrice Azarov, an opera singer trained at a conservatory. The group’s name, meaning “journey” and “melody” in Mongolian, perfectly encapsulates their artistic approach, which centers on the vocal traditions of Eastern countries. The four singer-friends share a common passion for traditional Slavic chants, which they interpret with a unique four-voice arrangement.
Specializing in Eastern vocal polyphonies, the group primarily performs a cappella or with very minimalist accompaniment, sometimes incorporating light percussion. Their notable appearance in season 11 of The Voice in 2022 significantly boosted their national visibility. Since then, they have regularly performed in various cultural venues across France, promoting the rich traditions of Slavic and Balkan vocal music.
