Michael Bougon, also known as MiK, is a saxophonist (soprano & tenor), flutist, composer, and arranger.
His musical universe, shaped throughout his travels, is deeply inspired by ethnic and modal music.
He explores and integrates into his creations traditional instruments such as the Peul flute, the ney, the gimbri, and the ngoni.
He has collaborated with major artists of the ethno-jazz scene, including Gnawa master Majid Bekkas, and takes part in the Urban Folklore project, blending Moroccan influences and jazz.
His performances have led him to prestigious stages and festivals, notably in Tangier, Brussels, and Casablanca.
His compositions, such as Sahara Blue (West Africa), Lama Bada (Arab-Senegalese fusion), Café Touba (liturgical chant), Andalou (Andalusian chant and overtone singing), and Cubandhi (classical, Indian, and Cuban fusion), reflect his desire to unite ancestral traditions with modernity.
Active both on stage and in the studio, MiK also shares his music during private and cultural events (cocktails, weddings, festivals, corporate evenings).
