Etienne Mbappe – Country Side at Le Baiser Sale

Etienne MBAPPÉ's hitherto unconfessed dream of producing a Country – Folk Album, music that 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 hustle and bustle, to explore outside.An in-depth approach to resonating the arpeggios and other crystalline sweeps of steel-string acoustic guitars, 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 gateway over the Atlantic Ocean, which connects secret African rhythms to American Country - Folk music. Two worlds which will intertwine in occult dances, with circular movements. Captivating voices and captivating 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.
