Shout out to Bob M. and Bruce L. 🥹💦

I grew up in a bi-racial French (Senegal) family, where Bob Marley was king of Sunday family music. Understanding Bruce Lee’s wisdom came later for me, but(t) bananas don’t discriminate 🍌

Also, I finally looked up my options for audio mastering (woohoo:) 🎧

Don't talk to me about love

An album of songs in English, French, and Moroccan Arabic to celebrate the people of Morocco who welcomed me to their spirit and their world. 


Tangier Whisper

NORTH in the House

The street swings. Grit underfoot, rhythm in the air. Female lead with grit, gospel trio backing, and a groove that walks with purpose.

2. Cobblestone Groove

A quiet morning, two mugs cooling on a scratched table. No words needed. Fingerpicked blues meets gospel harmony – warm, dry, and honest.

Two Cups of Blues

Rivers Pull (new version)

Buck Ramble — When the Money Ain’t Never Over

Found in dusty reels marked “Goodnight Trail Sessions,” these are the long-lost recordings of Buck Ramble — the saloon singer turned silver-screen storyteller who lived long enough to see cowhands become celebrities.

Every track is a campfire sermon in rhythm: part truth, part tall tale.
He sings about lawmen, outlaws, faith, denial, women, whiskey, and the strange mercy of knowing too much.
By the time the record closes with the title track, Buck’s world has shifted from trail dust to camera lights — but the heart’s still out there under the same sky.

Parce que quand on aime, au fond, c'est pour toujours, comme une chanson!
Celle-ci est pour ma tante Martine, qui me (nous) manque... 
Fav line: 
Oh "Les leçons à la putain con de philipine*, 
Oh oh oh les Parigos chez Martine." 
#lebonvieuxtemps #histoirevraie ✨ 

* philipine, en contexte, c'est mon con de père--mais ça, c'est une autre histoire ha ha

[Couplet 1]
Martine me faisait des tartines,
On rigolait comme deux coquines.
Martine, c’était ma p’tite tantine,
Et on s’aimait fort, comme des copines.

[Couplet 2]
On arrondissait les angles, les coins,
On se lançait des clins d’œil de loin.
On se contait des fables de famille,
On s’amusait bien, entre filles.

[Refrain]
Il faut bien d’l’amour pour sourire au malheur,
C’est une grâce, d’la bonté d’cœur,
D’oser s’user pour des enfants,
Malgré l’orage et les parents.

[Couplet 3]
Il faut bien d’l’amour pour offrir tout les étés,
Les egos qui parlent sans jamais écouter,
Les leçons à la putain con de philipine,
Oh oh oh les Parigos chez Martine.

[Refrain / Outro]
Martine, oh Martine…
Ma tantine, ma copine,
Ton rire résonne encore dans ma poitrine…
Martine… oh Martine

… because life on earth is a Psychedelic Cabaret, and “music is the only religion that delivers the goods” (like Frank said). 

To be clear, all I really know is I dunno shit about fck (like Socrates said:)—music and songwriting included. But(t) I feel it, the music, so damn deeep in my soul! I’m just a humble existential fool, a silly banana who likes to play and share, to question and learn. Words are my oldest best friends, hearing myself sing is a freaking miracle (trust me on that lol), and I believe curiosity and #gratitude are the keys to happiness… So voilà, there’s that.

Also, (if you’re curious) BananaSutra is not just a made up BS brand kinda word, it’s actually the name of my DIY Bible—a collection of songs telling true stories of faith, to help me (and perhaps you) make sense of a world gone wild, like bananas gone foul in shallow ignorance and deadly malevolence… Think of it as an agnostic testament of sorts, an audio book of songs with quirky lyrics about things that matter, like the definition of right and wrong, and the meaning of truth, joy, justice, peace, grace, and awe 🕊️

Some call it Artificial Intelligence, but(t) I call Authentic Imagination, Alternative Ideas, Augmented Innuendos, Abstract Illogisms… hopefully, you get the gist? The point being, life is the story we tell ourselves and LYRICS matter—each @bananasutra song has a wondering root and a loving purpose, guided by one of (my) 7 (bananas) sutras: 
- KNOWsutra : is it fair?
- BLOWsutra : is it foul?
- SHOWsutra : is it fun?
- GROWsutra : is it fear?
- FLOWsutra : is it free?
- GLOWsutra : is it fab?
- BOWsutra : is it awe?
