new album available: http://smarturl.it/SandraNkake2017

SANDRA NKAKÉ has found her own new way in a musical land where no one had gone before, her inner soul. Led by her magnificent voice and her partnership with Jî Drû, a new genre is born: moon like land, misty, meditative, delicate and intimate. A perfect combination of arty minimalist songs and NKAKÉ’s powerful voice. TANGERINE MOON WISHES is a concept album, free from the first notes. A shamanic voyage into a reddening and introspective ethereal world clinging to SANDRA NKAKÉ’s voice and breath.

A PLACE FOR YOU ! A tribute To Gil Scott Heron 
Gil Scott Heron nous a quitté en 2011. Sa musique et son message nous ont marqué à jamais. 
A l'annonce de son décès nous avons écrit et enregistré en une nuit un morceau hommage nommé « A place for you ! ». 
Rejoints par des proches et amis musiciens concernés, sur un riff de « Inner City Blues » de Marvin Gaye, nous chantons un refrain hommage à Gil Scott Heron et lui empruntons un texte extrait de « I Think I'll Call It Morning ». 
 
« L’homme est parti, Le message reste ». Sandra Nkaké et Jî Drû.

Candy Says - Velvet Underground cover by Sandra Nkaké (bonus track)

Following the events that occurred in several countries and closer to us in Paris and in response to the media and community’s reactions, we have decided to gather around between friends and record a version of Los Hermanos, written by Atahualpa Yupanqui, to advocate the importance of being united. Hatred breeds hatred. War breeds war.

En reacción a los recientes acontecimientos sucecidos en en numerosos países  y más cerca de nosotros en las calles de París y a su eco en los medias y la sociedad civil, hemos decidido reunirnos, entre amigos para grabar una versión de Los Hermanos de Atahualpa Yupanqui, y demostrar lo importante de quedernos unidos. El odio engendra el odio. La guerra engendra la guerra.

"Always The Same" live with Mike Ladd - France Inter Sous les etoiles

A voice of so many colours and textures, a unique sound dedicated to telling the truth.
His truth. Everyday people’s truth.
The words he chose, the stories he painted with his singular music and poetry resound in every choice we make.
His music is around us, a guide line to never forget to give what we are.
This is a tribute to a free soul.

“Somewhere between time and space,
We shall be free.”

Jî Drû and Sandra Nkaké
