From Dogs and Wolves - EP (Beating Drum, March, 2014)
4-track EP on available our shop: http://shop.beatingdrumrecords.com

'Wait by the Water' was recorded a few months ago at the theatre de l'Athénée in Paris with the gifted violinist Jasser Haj Youssef.
I wrote it after having finished Between Dogs and Wolves album with the live show in mind. I wanted to sing something that would work as a way of tuning ourselves into the right frequency in order to listen to quiet and intimate music.

Piers Faccini & Jasser Haj Youssef - Wait By The Water

Renè Aubry Sept Guitares

« Après 7 albums consacrés indirectement à l'héritage culturel maternel (origines juives de Transylvanie), j’ai conçu « Songs for the Old Man » comme une ré-interprétation de l'exil américain de mon père parti dans les années 50 aux Etats Unis.
Un recueil de folk songs clarinettistiques que je "chante" pour mon père, à mon père, mais aussi à tous  ceux qui passent leur vie sur la route, les nomades, les hobos, les déplacés, les réfugiés, avec l’envie de mélanger mes influences diverses d’Europe de l’Est à « l’americana ».  YOM

used songs:

Ry Cooder & V.M. Bhatt - Ganges Delta Blues
Dhafer Youssef - Blending Souls & Shades (to Shiraz)

Sounds start like a journey of the flesh walking on a desert, feeling a caustic desert soil on his feet, and purple energy of the earth follows him. Then, the purple energy of the earth appears and ask the reason of his journey. He talks about percussions of his brain orchestra, contrabass on his heart (8:59). He says that he want to find his unique and perfect love on this longest route. The energy lets him to go to find "unlimited tolerance, goodness, charity and awareness through love"(9:20). After the scream of truth(9.52), the flesh starts to purify from some of body pieces and continue to follow the unfinished route of mountain. Hence, this route hosts a white plume, heavy and viscous clouds, unexpected fire on tiny dessert sands, sand spout in daylight. Black and white together.

The "energy" whispers behind the passenger:
"I'm glad that God has chosen me to be your host,
I'm glad to see you again."

The passenger smiles and whisper by himself: "It's rude to whisper in front of others. You look behind my body, i'm in front of you. I will be quiet. It's early to talk like it's just last coincidence"

Rene Aubry - Amnesie

Vieux Farka Touré's beautiful latest album was recorded as an homage to his homeland.  Being that his native Mali has been splintered by territorial fighting between Tuareg and Islamic rebels since January 2012, his new album, Mon Pays, is devoted to reminding the world about the beauty and culture of his homeland.
 
‘For me it is a statement for the world that this land is for the sons and daughters of Mali, not for Al Qaeda or any militants. This land is for peace and beauty, rich culture and tolerance.This is our heritage, what we must always fight to protect in any way that we can. For me, that means making music that reminds the world of who we are.’
 
Translating as ‘My Nation,’ this predominantly acoustic undertaking had been planned before the invasions began. Inspired by his work with Israeli pianist and vocalist Idan Raichel, Touré initially went into a Bamako studio to honor the acoustic blues tradition of Northern and Southern Mali. Since that time, Mon Pays transformed into an artifact of cultural preservation.

Two songs on the project -Future’ and ‘Peace’ feature Sidiki Diabate’s kora leading an emotional charge complemented by Touré’s spectacular guitar work. Both tracks represent an important generational "passing of the torch" as Sidiki’s father, Toumani is considered one of the greatest living kora masters and was a close friend of Vieux’s father Ali. Their two records together, In the Heart of the Moon and Ali and Toumani, were awarded Grammies. At the 2011 ceremonies, Vieux accepted the prestigious award for his father, who had recently passed from bone cancer.

Mon Pays is the most mature and lovely record yet from one of this generation's most exciting artists to come out of Mali and one of world music's true rising stars.
