Ninon Valder presents “En mi corazón”

Ninon Valder will unveil "En mi corazón", her new album, on its release, January 10, 2025, on Flying Penguins / InOuïe Distribution. This opus will be presented on Tuesday, February 11, 2025, on the stage of Studio de L'Ermitage during an exceptional launch concert. The single "Viento del sol" was released on all platforms on November 8, 2024. "…it feels like being at the window of a train traveling at just the right speed to immerse yourself in the changing colors of a sonic landscape, which is nothing less than a love letter to life, to music, and to Argentina…" — Laurent Valero, France Musique "En mi corazón" includes: Ninon Valder: bandoneon, flutes, vocals, compositions Sebastián Cordero: guitar Kevin Seddiki: guitar Carine Bonnefoy: piano Raúl Barboza: accordion Rémi Bourcereau: sound engineering and mixing Ninon Valder is a musician with an exceptional and unconventional career, capable of combining worlds while maintaining her integrity and unique perspective. She describes herself as a “wind amazon” or “air shaman,” seeking to create connections between our deepest identities, our lands, and our skies, illuminating those moments when we feel truly alive. With her flutes, bandoneon, and voice, Ninon Valder expresses her passion for Argentine music and original compositions. In "En mi corazón," she shares her music through intimate and powerful duets with exceptional collaborators: Kevin Seddiki on guitar (ECM, Al di Meola, Jean-Louis Matinier), Sebastián Cordero on guitar (Daniele Sepe, Liat Cohen, Veronica Kadlubkiewicz), Carine Bonnefoy on piano (Vince Mendoza, Latin Grammy Award, Prix Sacem, Djangodor), and the legendary Raúl Barboza on accordion (a cornerstone of Argentine music and chamamé). Ninon tells us about a shared life along the path of the free world. In her voice, we hear echoes of Mercedes Sosa; in her bandoneon, the influence of Dino Saluzzi; and through her flute, a journey beyond all borders. We’ve seen her perform in a duo with Colacho Brizuela (historic guitarist, arranger, and musical director for Mercedes Sosa) in the album Cuscaias (2013 - Acqua Record) and as the director of the instrumental trio Las Famatinas in live performances and on the album Así seguimos andando (2020 - Les Belles Écouteuses).

Les Mécanos present “Usures”

Les Mécanos will unveil their new album ‘’Usures’’ on its release November 22, 2024, on L-EMA / InOuïe Distribution. This opus will be presented on Wednesday, January 22, 2025, on the stage of the Studio de L'Ermitage during an exceptional launch concert. The singles "Deman matin" and "Les Piafs" are already available on all platforms. Three years after their eponymous ep and over a hundred shows across France, Europe, and Canada, Les Mécanos release their first album: Usures. While continuing their exploration of occitan polyphony, the ten musicians affirm their belonging to this new generation emerging from the so-called «traditional» music (Barrut, Cocanha...). Based in Saint-Étienne, France, and its surroundings, the collective reinvents popular music which is rooted in the history of this former industrial region.  Vocals and percussion: Rémi BACHER Gaël BERNAUD Martin BUB Antoine CHILLET Sylvère DECOT Jonathan DURAJ BENOIT FEUGÈRE Jérémie PLASSON Simon POURRAT Guillaume SBAÏZ   Driven by the desire to shape an original repertoire and give voice to the working-class memory of Saint-Étienne, the group draws freely from the local repertoire, regional archives, in its beliefs and its imagination to write its own lyrics and create exciting music, enriched by the many influences of its members.  Usures unveils a captivating musical tapestry, at times frantic, delicate, festive, and committed. The group’s maturity shines through the freedom taken in its arrangements. The generosity of their early days is still present, and one can feel the striking synergy of the ten voices, delivering a powerful polyphony or infusing melodies with a surprising sweetness.  Like their grandparents who would switch from French to their regional dialect within the same conversation, Les Mécanos sing in both languages, sometimes mixing them, and showcase rugged, frenetic percussions to convey a decidedly contemporary message and embrace a certain vision of the world and our social history.  The camaraderie of these ten friends is faithfully captured by Thomas Masson, who has collaborated with them on stage for 4 years. Les Mécanos have benefited from the experienced support of Titouan Billon (Barrut, Du Bartas) for co-artistic direction and Bruno Preynat (Mickey 3D, Barrio Populo...) for mastering.

Lucibela presents “Moda Antiga”

Lucibela will unveil "Moda Antiga", her third album, on November 8, 2024, through Lusafrica / Sony. This opus will be presented on Friday, November 15, 2024, at the Café de la Danse stage during a special launch concert. The single "Lembra Tempo" will be available starting November 4, 2024, on all platforms. This track, written and composed by the singer, describes the festive gatherings of yesteryear, the lively street dances of São Vicente held every weekend, the "rabecada," where the mornas, coladeiras, and other mazurkas were danced until dawn. Moda Antiga through Lucibela’s eyes: "Moda Antiga" celebrates Cape Verde's musical heritage. It’s my third album and, as its name suggests, it’s a traditional album. It includes many old compositions but also some original songs that stay true to our tradition. My inspiration comes from various artists (singers, composers, musicians…) that I’ve always listened to, those who have been part of my journey so far, and those I interact with daily, helping me better understand our traditions. — Lucibela Lucibela’s biography: After releasing Amdjer in 2022, her last opus in tribute to Cape Verdean women, the delightful Lucibela embarks on a new journey, a new mission… In this third album, Moda Antiga ("In the Old Fashioned Way"), she, often seen as a worthy heir to Cesaria Evora, aims to bring back to the forefront the vibrant traditions of her small country, played here with the faithful accents and rhythms of her predecessors. Like many young women of her generation in Cape Verde, 38-year-old Lucibela listens to hip-hop, electro, kizomba, the rich soundtracks that fill the daily life of the youth in the archipelago, from collective taxis to nightclubs and festivals. However, she believes it’s crucial, even urgent, to preserve the island's roots — mornas, coladeiras — an intangible heritage "more valued abroad than on our own soil," she laments, before emphasizing: “We don’t have conservatories or music schools to ensure the protection and transmission of these traditions to the next generations… I feel it's my duty to do so.” Thus, this album stands as a festive and generous declaration of love to this national treasure, taking the form of a beautiful collection of popular and traditional songs, Cape Verdean myths, and stories, often composed by iconic figures (Anu Nobu, Manuel de Novas, Mario Lucio, Zézé di nha Reinalda...). To bring them to life, she gathered, before finalizing the project in Holland and France, a group of legendary musicians at the Lusafrica studio in Mindelo, all guardians of these musical styles, led and arranged by the excellent Toy Vieira. This includes the essential Bau (guitar) and Hernani Almeida (guitar/sound engineer), as well as Totinho, the aptly named "saxophonist of the morna" and longtime collaborator of Cesaria Evora, who tragically passed away last July. So, what can be expected from this album of “classics,” carried by Lucibela’s enchanting voice, both smooth and powerful? (...)

David Krakauer on tour with “Krakauer & Tagg’s Good Vibes Explosion”

Sorry, this entry is only available in French. For the sake of viewer convenience, the content is shown below in the alternative language. You may click the link to switch the active language.David Krakauer et Kathleen Tagg sont de retour sur scène cet automne avec "Krakauer & Tagg's Good Vibes Explosion", et poursuivent leur tournée en France avec plusieurs dates de concerts, après avoir notamment enflammé le public de Jazz à Vienne cet été. L'album "Mazel Tov Cocktail Party" était sorti le 25 février 2022 chez Label Bleu et Table Pounding Records / L'Autre Distribution et avait reçu à cette occasion des retours médiatiques plus qu'élogieux. David Krakauer et Kathleen Tagg ont souhaité depuis renommer le projet "Krakauer & Tagg's Good Vibes Explosion", car cela correspond plus à ce qu'ils veulent transmettre : "une explosion de bonnes vibrations sans catégorie, avec des musiques et des personnes incroyablement diverses qui s'unissent dans un nouveau son mondial." Qu'y a-t-il de différent dans ce projet ? C'est le même Krakauer que nous avons toujours connu - la grenade d'énergie explosive qui fait crier nos âmes et voler nos pieds. C'est le même Krakauer qui partage les cris de son âme aux ancêtres et aux esprits, qui nous fait ressentir notre connexion primitive à l'immensité de l'univers, qui nous fait ressentir vivant. Aujourd'hui, il ouvre son son au monde. C'est toujours le même Krakauer, qui dépoussièrera toutes les toiles d'araignée et vous fera danser avec toute la force de son son klezmer. Mais dans ce projet créé avec Kathleen Tagg, multi-instrumentiste et productrice sud-africaine, c'est un Krakauer qui a une vision plus large, qui regarde au-delà de sa tribu et qui dit : « Qu'est-ce que nous pouvons faire ensemble ? Que pouvons-nous faire ensemble ? Krakauer & Tagg's Good Vibes Explosion est composé de : David Krakauer, clarinette et voix Kathleen Tagg, claviers, violoncelle, accordéon, électronique/samples Sarah MK, MC, voix et rap Martin Shamoonpour, daf (tambour à cadre iranien), guimbarde et percussions buccales Yoshie Fruchter, guitare électrique, oud et mandoline Jerome Harris, basse et voix Satoshi Takeishi, batterie Les artistes seront en concert cet automne en France aux dates suivantes : - 19 novembre : La Seine musicale, Boulogne-Billancourt (92) - 20 novembre : Éclats d'Émail Jazz Édition, Limoges (87) - 23 novembre : Cité musicale, L'Arsenal, Metz (57)
