Nirek Mokar - Back To Basics (Feat. Sax Gordon) (2023)

Nirek Mokar is a 21-year-old Parisian who grew up in the 17th arrondissement. It was by having the chance to listen to and see all the great Boogie-Woogie specialists play at the "Paris Boogie Speakeasy" where his father worked when he was very young that he fell in love with the Boogie Woogie piano.

Only 10 years ago and following the advice of his elders, he began self-taught on the piano at the ''Paris Boogie Speakeasy'' because he didn't have a piano at home!

Passionate about this music and also about Blues, Swing and Rock'n'roll, he devotes himself to it whenever he can. Showing astonishing maturity and an exceptional swing, he quickly became the little darling of Boogie lovers from all over Paris, but not only that.

Nirek regularly plays with his Boogie Messengers at the famous jazz club, Caveau de la Huchette, in Paris. he has already been invited to play in numerous festivals in France, but also abroad. He had the chance to open for the late Lucky Peterson. He plays with singer Eddie Gazel in the group ''The One Eyed Cats'', and collaborates from time to time with singer Emilie Hedou or with the famous American saxophonist and entertainer, Sax Gordon. Nirek recently started teaching Master Classes or Blues Workshops. He also gives Boogie Woogie, Blues and Rock'n'Roll piano lessons.
