La Jam Du Dimanche De Isaías Alves at Le Baiser Sale

The drums resonate like voices from another world, powerful, deep, ancestral. They call, they gather, they open up a space of freedom where anything can happen. This is where Tambours Ancestraux – Jazz du Maranhão et du Brésil begins, an explosive jam led by Isaías Alves.A native of São Luís, in north-eastern Brazil, Isaías is a percussionist and composer nourished by the popular traditions of Maranhão. He grew up to the rhythm of street drums, processions and festivals, before taking his sounds to Europe. With him, tradition meets improvisation, jazz takes root in the territory and rhythm becomes language.Inspired by the greats of Maranhão – Tânia Maria, João do Vale, Papete, Josias Sobrinho, César Teixeira – and by the giants of the Northeast such as Letieres Leite, Sivuca, Hermeto Pascoal and Naná Vasconcelos, Isaías builds bridges between memory and invention.Here, every jam session is unique. It is a living celebration, a collective playground, a moment when sounds circulate, ignite and meet. Maranhense jazz asserts itself as a genre in its own right: hybrid, inventive, rooted.Come and listen, vibrate, improvise and let yourself be surprised. The drums have already started to speak.  ...

Les tambours résonnent comme des voix venues d’ailleurs, puissantes, profondes, ancestrales. Ils appellent, ils rassemblent, ils ouvrent un espace de liberté où tout peut arriver. C’est là que commence Tambours Ancestraux – Jazz du Maranhão et du Brésil, une jam explosive menée par Isaías Alves.Enfant de São Luís, au nord-est du Brésil, Isaías est percussionniste et compositeur nourri par les traditions populaires du Maranhão. Il a grandi au rythme des tambours de rue, des processions, des fêtes, avant de faire voyager ses sons jusqu’en Europe. Avec lui, la tradition rencontre l’impro, le jazz s’ancre dans le territoire et le rythme devient langage.Inspiré par les grands du Maranhão – Tânia Maria, João do Vale, Papete, Josias Sobrinho, César Teixeira – et par les géants du Nordeste comme Letieres Leite, Sivuca, Hermeto Pascoal ou Naná Vasconcelos, Isaías tisse des ponts entre mémoire et invention.Ici, chaque jam est unique. C’est une célébration vivante, un terrain de jeu collectif, un moment où les sons circulent, s’embrasent, se rencontrent. Le jazz maranhense s’y affirme comme un genre à part entière : hybride, inventif, enraciné.Viens écouter, vibrer, improviser, te laisser surprendre. Les tambours ont déjà commencé à parler.
