panamy

To understand Panamy, one must begin with the source of love that unites them. This love, a vibrant energy that flows through their music, unfolds in every note played, every word sung. Panamy is the story of Patric and Myrna, an inseparable duo both on stage and in life, whose star began to shine in 2004 in the port city of Port-Gentil, Gabon.

It all began in high school when Myrna joined the band where Patric, a budding guitarist, was already showcasing his talent. An immediate chemistry formed between them, and their fates intertwined, never to be untangled. What started as a musical encounter evolved into a deep union, marked by twenty years of complicity both in life and on stage.

For more than 15 years, Panamy has crafted a musical universe all their own, a subtle blend of soul and Afro-folk rhythms rooted in Gabonese culture. Myrna’s voice, at once warm and powerful, is expressed in Myene, a language from Gabon, as well as in French and English. This linguistic duality reveals an artist whose international soul influences blend with deep and authentic roots.

Patric, a virtuoso of the acoustic guitar, has a unique style that combines rich chords, vibrant bass lines, and luminous melodies, skillfully mixed with rhythmic slapping techniques. This symbiosis between technique and emotion creates the perfect setting for Myrna’s voice.

Over the years, Patric and Myrna have enriched their art by accompanying iconic figures in the Gabonese and African music scenes. Patric has lent his guitar talents to artists such as Shan’L, Queen Koumb, and Annie-Flore Batchiellilys, while Myrna has performed on gospel and soul stages in France, honing her stage presence.

Today, Panamy is in full creative bloom. Their debut self-titled EP, set for release in 2025, promises to reveal a rich and authentic musical world. Through original compositions, the duo invites us on a sonic journey where the traditional rhythms of Gabon merge with soulful sounds, offering music that resonates with both depth and modernity.

Together for 20 years, Patric and Myrna continue to fuel the flames of their love and their passion for music. Their journey is a vibrant demonstration of what harmony between two people can achieve, both personally and creatively. Panamy is more than just a musical duo: it is a love story, a quest for authenticity, and an invitation to discover the world through notes and words filled with life.
