#SessionLive Aziz Sahmaoui & Eric Longsworth, new album It will be tomorrow morning until noon Morocco/USA.
The delicacy and power of the tones of the mandola and the cello intertwine with precision and audacity, while deploying a captivating musicality. The presence of the percussionist Adhil Mirghani, enriches the palette of sonorities of the mandola, the cello and the voice. The percussions come to slip into the game and carry this concordance of times towards a rhythmic elsewhere imbued with splinters.
Adhil flips the duo into a trio with a gourd blow, the skins sound like a sound box with the arranged, rearranged chords of Eric and Aziz. Thus was born the album The weather will be fine tomorrow morning until noon. Twelve titles written and sung in Arabic or French, tinged with blues, jazz or folk accents… Ten songs that evoke among other things: the Arab Spring, with Yasmine, another way of carrying the world and the dreams of a destiny in Maktoube, Un Homme Bon, Radio Safi, sung in French – a first for Aziz. Lebanon and Le Temps des apricots are some of the titles that tell, in their own way, the “dis” agreements of the World. Finally a rearranged cover of Morning Has Broken written by English poet Eleanor Farjeon (1931). This musical story is intended to meet all audiences. Just let yourself be caught up in the musical emotions and the sincerity of this encounter to dive into the heart of a road trip with sounds both firmly rooted in tradition and resolutely modern, magnifying this world in perpetual motion.

Then we receive Malika Zarra in the #SessionLive, new album Rwanda Morocco/Senegal.
Malika Zarra invites you to travel between Africa, Europe and North America in a captivating album produced by the bassist Alune Wade. RWA (The Essence) takes root in Africa, Europe and America. Thus forming the iconic geometric figure, reminiscent of the famous triangular trade that bled the African continent for centuries. But from the forced meeting of Africa and Europe in the American plantations, was born a myriad of popular music: Blues, Jazz, Rock’n’Roll and so on… It’s this same trip triangle made by Malika Zara to sculpt RWA which could be translated as Essence, Quintessence…
