#carteblanche Etienne Mbappé – Country~side at Le Baiser Sale

Etienne MBAPPÉ's hitherto unconfessed dream of making a Country - Folk Album, a music he particularly likes, by introducing colorful and spicy ingredients from his native Africa. A musical project with calm and soothing sounds, soft and enveloping, reassuring and comforting. A reflection and writing that moves away from the thunderous and frenetic urban agitation, to explore outside.An in-depth approach to resonate the arpeggios and other crystalline sweeps of acoustic guitars with steel strings, which are the basis of Country - Folk instrumentation.A few notes on the piano, a violin alternately bowed or in delicate pizzicatos, a round and sober bass, a few percussive elements to support the voices."COUNTRY - SIDE", an invisible bridge over the Atlantic Ocean, which links secret African rhythms to American Country - Folk music. Two worlds that will intertwine in occult dances, with circular movements. Captivating voices and haunting melodies with vernacular accents....

Le rêve jusque-là inavoué d’Etienne MBAPPÉ, de réaliser un Album Country – Folk, musique qu’il affectionne particulièrement, en y introduisant des ingrédients colorés et épicés de son Afrique natale. Un projet musical aux sonorités calmes et apaisantes, douces et enveloppantes, rassurantes et réconfortantes. Une réflexion et une écriture qui s’éloignent de l’agitation urbaine tonitruante et frénétique, pour explorer en dehors.Une approche en profondeur pour faire résonner les arpèges et autres balayages cristallins des guitares acoustiques aux cordes en acier, qui sont la base de l’instrumentation Country – Folk.Quelques notes au piano, un violon tour à tour à l’archet ou en pizzicatos délicats, une basse ronde et sobre, quelques éléments percussifs pour soutenir les voix.«COUNTRY – SIDE », une invisible passerelle au-dessus de l’océan Atlantique, qui relie les rythmiques secrètes africaines à la musique Country - Folk américaine. Deux mondes qui vont s’entrelacer dans des danses occultes, aux mouvements circulaires. Voix captivantes et mélodies envoûtantes aux accents vernaculaires.
