Batsükh Dorj presents “Ögbelerim – Music for my Ancestors”

Batsükh Dorj will unveil his new album "Ögbelerim – Music for my Ancestors" on its release October 20, 2023, on Buda Musique / Socadisc.  After An Anthology of Mongolian Khöömii and Khusugtun’s Jangar, Routes Nomades produces a second emanation of this Anthology with the first album by the young soloist Batsükh Dorj. With : Batsükh Dorj: vocals, khöömei, kargyraa, sygyt, igil fiddle, doshpuluur lute, shoor flute, khomus mouth harp, attinduyou horse hooves, khai nose whistle Johanni Curtet: vocals, kharkhiraa, isgeree khöömii, guitar, doshpuluur lute, dan moi mouth harp Tsengel, the western most village of Mongolia. In the remote foothills of the upper Altai mountains, Batsükh Dorj perpetuates khöömei in his community. This remarkable musician perfectly masters the different throat singing styles typical of the Tuvans: khöömei (contracted throat singing), sygyt (whistled throat singing), kargyraa (deep throat singing), ezenggileer (lit. “stirrups”), and borbangnadyr (lit. “rolling”). Accompanied by Johanni Curtet, specialist in throat-singing in the West who arranged and produced her first album, Batsükh sings us about his nomadic culture through mountains and travels, notably by imitating the rhythms of horses and the flow of water. A rare and complete artist: luthier, he masters his own sound; and composer he brings a major contribution to his musical tradition. This Altai blues is a sound that is its, and that of this encounter between a Tuvan musician and a French researcher-musician in search of harmonic sounds, where the art of khöömei unites them. Seeking a folk acoustic sound in vast spaces, it is a free and spontaneous interpretation. Compositions in the codes of the tradition, revisited Tuvan traditional music, a fiddle that makes us forget the temporality, a lute that punctuates our cavalcades, the overtones that connect us to the elements, a timeless music, in tribute to our ancestors.

Kosasa presents “Fé lève lo mort”

Kosasa (Exploring the World Through Music), the latest project spearheaded by artist Suissa, will reveal "Fé lève lo mort", a new album that will be accompanied by a photo book / CD, a documentary and several clips, on the occasion of its release on CD, vinyl and digital on October 6, 2023 by Chante et tais-toi / InOuïe Distribution. David Suissa (guitar, voice and compositions) gathered the following artists: Mélanie Bourire (percussions, voice), Teddy Doris (trombone), David Doris (percussions, congas), Lélin Gado (voice), Sébastien Joanniez (voice, lyrics), Luc Joly (saxophone), Vincent Girard (bass, doublebass, compositions), Frédéric Madia « GiliK » (percussions, voice), Anne Gaëlle Hoarau (voice), Marcel« Willy » Phyleas (rouleur), Eno Zangoun (percussions, voice).   THE PROJET Fé lève lo mort (Reviving the Past: A Musical Journey) It all started with the bond between Suissa, a musician from the metropolitan scene, and the enchanting island of Reunion island: its people, culture, music, and landscapes. It was the desire to share, exchange, and blend artistic elements that propelled Suissa forward. As a curious musician, Suissa embarked on a journey across various musical genres, forging connections and unifying voices. This musical exploration involved the Maloya world and artists from metropolitan France and the Reunion island, including authors, performers, and composers. The inaugural "Kosasa" laboratory ("What is that" in Creole) resulted on an album, a CD accompanied by a photo book, a documentary, and a series of music videos — all scheduled for release on October 2023.   THE LABORATORY We, a diverse group of artists, embarked on the inaugural stage of this creative laboratory on October 2019, accompanied by numerous guests at the Cité des Arts in Saint-Denis, the capital city of Reunion island. Sébastien Joanniez, at that time, author in a residence of the Indian Ocean National Drama Center, was inspired by the enchanting island that had left a profound impact on him. The interactions he had with the locals during a whole week, are centered around the theme of « Sunday » and led to the creation of texts, poems, and songs. Each day, a performer from the island, such as Mélanie Bourire, Eno Zangoun, Lélin Gado, Luc Joly, Teddy and David Doris, Frederik Madia "GiliK," Anne Gaelle Hoarau, Marcel Phyleas "Willy," and David Suissa, proposes and shares experiments with Sébastien Joanniez's texts and Suissa and Vincent Girard's musical compositions.The CD-book captures the pulse and emotions of these encounters, made possible with the support of CDNOI and the Auvergne-Rhône-Alpes Region.   THE ALBUM After the Laboratory, David Suissa, Vincent Girard, and David Doris returned to the Tontons Flingueurs studio, to finish the album. This unique audio creation blends interviews, electronic elements, live events, songs, and the rich maloya tradition. All these elements are assembled in the "Fé lève lo mort" (Breathing New Life into the Past) album. The recording process spanned from October 2019 to July 2022 and took place at Cité des Arts with support from Cdnoi, Tontons Flingueurs studio, the Rogaton, and the Chante et Tais Toi studio. The project was brought to life by Chante et Tais Toi label and will be distributed by InOuïe Distribution.

Amin Al Aiedy presents “Shams”

Amin Al Aiedy will unveil his new album "Shams" on its release November 17, 2023, on Musiques en Balade / InOuïe Distribution. This new work will be presented live on stage on Thursday November 30, 2023 at 360 Paris Music Factory (Paris). "SHAMS is an ode to a captivating region of the world that truly fascinates me: Bilad al Sham, which translates to « Land of the Sun », encompassing the Levant or Middle East. Drawing inspiration from this culturally rich and vibrant area, I aimed to create music that radiates brightness and warmth." Amin Al Aiedy On this album and on stage, Amin Al Aiedy (oud and compositions) is playing in quartet with the following musicians: Vincent Forestier: piano Matheo Cielsa: drums Jean Waché: doublebass Amin Al Aiedy, composer and oud player: "Since childhood, the East and the West have always coexisted within me, whether in my blood, language, or the music listened to within the family. After studying contemporary music, then classical, and eventually delving into jazz, the paths of life led me to live and study on the other side of the Mediterranean, where I was able to deeply absorb Arab music and culture. It was upon returning from this journey that the need to create a two- dimensional music became apparent. The idea sprouted during the lengthy introspective period of confinement, finally culminating in the creation, at the beginning of the summer of 2020, of a project that synthesizes this journey." The project: "The aim of this music is to bring together the harmonic and rhythmic riches of the Western world with the oral tradition and melodic spirituality of the Eastern world. Jazz modes infuse themselves with Arab maqams, intertwining with diverse polyrhythms. Improvisation, too, takes flight, weaving between written cadences and crafting new arabesques together. SHAMS is an ode to a captivating region of the world that truly fascinates me: Bilad al Sham, which translates to « Land of the Sun », encompassing the Levant or Middle East. Drawing inspiration from this culturally rich and vibrant area, I aimed to create music that radiates brightness and warmth. Over the course of two years, I composed these nine pieces, seeking to paint a diverse landscape that effortlessly blends jazz, modes, and Arabic rhythms. Melody takes center stage, flowing through irregular beats and finding freedom in the musicians' improvisations, with whom I immensely enjoy playing." Amin Al Aiedy

Matjé presents “Sur mon dos”

Matjé will unveil his new album "Sur mon dos" on its physical and digital release September 22, 2023, and vinyl release on November 9, 2023 on Label d'À côté / InOuïe Distribution. This new work will be presented live on stage on Thursday November 16, 2023 at 360 Paris Music Factory (Paris). At the crossroads between French song and World music with Afro-Latin influences, Matjé puts a poetic pen, on a warm and catchy music combining tradition and modernity. On this album, Matjé is surrounded by prestigious guests such as: Mourad Musset (La Rue Kétanou) : vocals ("Palabres") Bi.Ba : vocals (''Mitsio'') Isla : vocals ("Sur mon dos'') Alain Debiossat (Sixun) : saxophones (" Palabres" et "Cumbia Fanée") François Causse (Zoufris Maracas) : drums and percussions And also by the following musicians: Sébastien Gloriod : accordion Ludovic Hellet : doublebass Yoann Grenouilleau : drums Charles Giraud : keyboards, clarinet, choirs and percussions   Biography Matjé: Having grown up in the world of sea travels in the town of Saint-Malo, Matjé has been dreaming from an early age of distant and sunny countries. As a teenager, he met the writer Raphaël Confiant at the festival "Etonnants Voyageurs" and discovered "creolity". Later on, living in Montreuil (93), he appropriated this concept with the meaning that Aimé Césaire would give to it. Like a "kelp hanging on the rock" of French songs, he likes to be carried away, various musical currents he has discovered abroad, and in a France still open to the world, thanks to the welcoming of many cultures since its origins. He chose the artist name "Matjé" when he discovered that this contraction of his first and last names meant "to write" in Creole. Living today close to the Atlantic Ocean, he mixes his songs with memories from his travels to Brazil, the West Indies, Madagascar, Cape Verde, Reunion...   "Sur mon dos": In this new album, the pseudonym of this singer, author and composer takes on its full meaning through his stories sung or rapped in French on tropical music. His light and poetic words but full of meaning mingle, for instance, with  Colombian Cumbia, Brazilian Forro, African Soukous, Reunion Maloya, Malagasy Salegy... Although getting its inspiration from traditional music, this new opus is anchored in modernity and we sometimes feel Hip hop influences in the flow or production of some tracks. His solar and catchy music exudes a positive energy inviting to dance while the careful and poetic writing leads us to take a step back and encourages thinking. 4 tracks of the album "Sur mon dos" were first made at Batiskaf in Nantes (44). Then, following his meeting with his manager Julio Rodrigues (who revealed the Zoufris Maracas and accompanied La Rue Ketanou), he met François Causse (director, among other things, of Zoufris Maracas albums). He achieved with him 6 new tracks in Massy (91). Julio also introduced him to Mourad Musset from La Rue Kétanou (feat. on "Palabres") during an opening part at the Cabaret Sauvage (Paris, 19th) and made it possible to release the album on the Label d'à Côté.
