Very sad news:
<<During the night of Sunday (5/01/2026), Ĵak Le Puil passed away in the hospital in Bourges.
For all who knew him and Armela, remember his songs.
Have a thought for Armela and her daughter and grandchildren.

It is extremely sad news for all of us that our long-time friend and artist Ĵak Le Puil has just left us.
His extensive Esperanto musical repertoire and work are long-lasting, it has taken root in the culture of Esperanto and will forever accompany our movement.
We have warm thoughts for Armela, daughter, and grandchildren.
Farewell, dear friend Ĵak, your beautiful and committed songs will remain forever in our hearts….
Flo! (Floréal Martorell)
On behalf of the EUROKKA and VINILKOSMO team.
As Rikardo and Jeannette Cash, also his friends, say, it is difficult to imagine an Esperanto movement without Ĵak !
As a great reminder and tribute to Ĵak Le Puil, here is an interview conducted by Flo on the occasion of his recording
at La Studio de la Trappe at Vinilkosmo in early July 2014 for the album Sen elizi' .
And here is the full music video for the song “Sen elizi'” from the album of the same name recorded
in early July 2014 at the Studio de la Trappe at Vinilkosmo.
