Four virtuosos meet at the boundaries of chamber music, folk and acoustic jazz-------------------------------------------------------------------------
Les Égarés, ‘the wanderers’, met at a French music festival and have since created a unique ensemble, blending chamber music, folk and acoustic jazz. Their wonderfully rich blend of sounds can occasionally lead you to forget that this is a collaboration of four exceptional soloists: the renowned kora player Ballaké Sissoko, cellist Vincent Segal, accordionist Vincent Peirani, and soprano saxophonist Emile Parisien.
The debut album Les Égarés shows the wide range of the musicians, all four of whom contributed compositions. For instance, Sissoko’s tracks Ta Nyé and Banja draw from Senegalese traditions. The album also incorporates influences from chansons, Anatolian music, Colombian dance rhythms, blues, Coltrane-like trance, and the kaleidoscopic jazz of Joe Zawinul. This concert is a continuation of the album, which was lauded by the international press. ‘Give yourself up to the pleasure of being lost,’ wrote Mojo Magazine.
