Then we get Faada Freddy for the EP Tables Will Turn.
Little bowler hat à la Charlot on the head from which escape a forest of dreadlocks and striped gibus on white shirt, here Faada Freddy ! Old-fashioned chic for the former figure of the Senegalese hip-hop group Daara J. Since then, the dandy of the boulevards swears only by body percussion.
THE P Tables Will Turn signs its big comeback after a long discographic silence since the release in 2016 of a first album The Gospel Journeypunctuated by some 300 concerts around the world. Golden Cagesthe second title unveiled before the release of the EP, confirms an uncompromising musical approach where the only resources are human ” My music is 100% organic and 0% technological », sums up Faada to evoke a device, already tested on Gospel Journey which solicits the mouth and the body to imitate the sound of the instruments. ” We live in a society based on standardization of thought, acceptance, submission, summarizes the singer. We allow ourselves to be locked up in what I call “golden cages.” ». It is to this habituation of a situation of forgetting freedom that the non-artificial approach of Golden Cages. The Scrapbook Golden Cages is expected on September 22, 2023.
