As a producer, Herve has worked with Omar Pene, Somi, Lisa Simone and other artists. He was also nominated for a Grammy Award for his collaboration with Somi on the album Holy Room, and as a solo artist, Samba has released four successful albums.

In Riga, Herve will perform with his trio, which also includes American bassist Reggie Washington and drummer Sonny Troupe from the Caribbean island of Guadeloupe.

“The perfect synthesis of a music that takes as much from African polyrhythms as urban jazz’s electricity… Sophisticated, epicurean, a gilt-edged jazz”, as said in Selection Jazz News portal.
