Disruptive, "Zouk Out" is a jazz album that reflects the pressing need to abolish conventions, an endless thirst to reinvent the original combinations of the genre. The pianist Mario Canonge is undoubtedly one of the greatest representatives of the Caribbean music, come to settle in Paris since 1979, co-founder of the famous group Ultramarine, accompanist of Dee Dee Bridgewater, Nicole Croisille ... He also collaborated with Kassav, Malavoi, Michel Jonasz, Laurent Voulzy, Richard Bona, Manu Dibango ... "This fourteenth opus is my personal conception of a Caribbean jazz. He respects our musical traditions punctuated by this powerful original marker that is the drum. Less popular than its Spanish-speaking and English-speaking islanders, the syncopations of the French West Indies are no less melodious. They are still forgotten that many renowned musicians have their inspiration. Zouk Out is a reflection of a jazz tribute to the origins of zouk, my people. This is the expression of what I am, a jazzman close to his roots, who invites to the discovery of authentic phrasings resolutely modern." A master on the subject!...

Disruptif, « Zouk Out » est un album de jazz qui traduit le besoin pressant d'abolir les conventions, une soif intarissable de réinventer les combinaisons originales du genre. Le pianiste Mario Canonge est sans doute l'un des plus grands représentants de la musique caribéenne, venu s'installer à Paris dès 1979, cofondateur du célèbre groupe Ultramarine, accompagnateur de Dee Dee Bridgewater, Nicole Croisille... ; il a également collaboré avec Kassav, Malavoi, Michel Jonasz, Laurent Voulzy, Richard Bona, Manu Dibango... « Ce quatorzième opus est ma conception personnelle d'un jazz aux influences caribéennes. Il respecte nos traditions musicales rythmées par ce puissant marqueur originel qu'est le tambour. Moins populaires que ses consoeurs insulaires hispanophones et anglophones, les syncopes des Antilles françaises n'en sont pas moins mélodieuses. Elles n'en demeurent pas moins oubliées que nombre de musiciens de renom y puisent leur inspiration. Zouk Out, c'est le reflet d'un jazz rendant hommage aux origines du zouk, à mon peuple. C'est l'expression de ce que je suis, un jazzman proche de ses racines, qui invite à la découverte de phrasés authentiques résolument modernes. » Un maître en la matière !
