Jazz Fusion

Dear friends and listeners....“Doni Doni (literally Little by Little or Step by Step in the Malian language) reflects the way we built this record” Erik Truffaz Quartet first Album In 3 Years For The Quartet Led By Erik Truffaz, The Groundbreaking Trumpet Player Who Sold Over 600,000 Records Internationally.

Marc Erbetta, the band’s first and foremost drummer, left his seat to fresh and young blood embodied by Arthur Hnatek, a young musician who lived in New York and plays with cutting-edge artists like Tigran Hamasyan.

New inspiration and influences color the new album, taken from a rich and scenic collaboration with the South African dance company VUYANI.

Still standing at the frontier of jazz and instrumental pop, balancing between originality and accessibility the Erik Truffaz Quartet, faithful to a tradition established since many albums, invites two world renown and award-winning voices to this recording: Rokia Traoré and Oxmo Puccino.

The Malian singer will enchant three songs from her sweet and mysterious timbre, while French hip-hop giant and longtime friend and French collaborator (featured on the "Paris Tour" dvd) Oxmo Puccino, will add his creative and mesmerizing input on a title as well. Two diametrically opposed characters that the music of Erik Truffaz Quartet will merge and fuse. Another interesting work by Truffaz's renowed quartet HERE ...enjoy, zero

Word music

Dear friends and listeners.......you don't need to travel to hear great global music. She'Koyokh are a multi-lingual eight-piece British band whose members include a classically trained violinist and clarinettist, a Serbian accordionist, an American mandolin player, a Greek percussionist and a remarkable young singer who is a Turkish Kurd. They started out busking in London's Columbia Road flower market, and have developed into impressive exponents of klezmer ((is a musical tradition of the Ashkenazi Jews of Eastern Europe. Played by professional musicians called klezmorim, the genre originally consisted largely of dance tunes and instrumental display pieces for weddings and other celebrations.) and traditional styles from Russia, Ukraine, Greece, Turkey and the Balkans. Their jaunty and slinky instrumental pieces include a Russian jazz favourite from the 30s and a Turkish folk tune inspired by the mating habits of goats. They also include an exquisite Bosnian love song, featuring the brooding and stately singing of Çiğdem Aslan. So dear friends pick up a look on this album with a strange title "Wild goats & unmarried woman".....HERE     enjoy, zero.
