nice little concert hall in suburban New Cultural Center charentonneau (NECC), located next to the covered market of the same name, hosted a party last Thursday night blues of the highest order.
It begins with a discovery in a blow of heart for the bluesman from Cameroon Roland Tchakounté. Its formula trio, he is accompanied by a drummer / percussionist and an electric guitar, assuring himself folk guitar, is a tribute to his homeland of Africa with his music is like a journey. In fact Roland is a hybrid artist Tchakounté halfway between the blues and the griot, music, sung in the vernacular, making the blues to renew its African roots. He is aided by an excellent drummer playing a kit complex holding both the drums and percussion when the often serves as a djembe drum. There is also a complicated mechanism with a kick pedal upside down, allowing the Gyro Gearloose drummer playing cymbal ride. The battery is played with a broom. Braced on his Les Paul, the guitarist has a style much more traditional blues played with the finger (important). As for Roland, he provides the rhythm on an acoustic guitar and sings in his deep voice and serious. Periodically the group down the sound and play less and less strong, affecting the public fairly intimate. All played without guitar pick and drums played with a broom gives a great delicacy to the music. We spend some quality time greeted by a well-deserved standing ovation.
bill much more classical, pianist / organist Mighty Mo Rodgers from Los Angeles took over on the stroke of 22 hours. Mo's powerful is accompanied by a training guitar, bass, guitar, combining both youth (the drummer and bassist) and experience, the guitarist who seem to have quite a bit of bottle, unfortunately, he spent the evening too much hassle with his amp. It does not take much time to Mo to seduce the audience demanding a rhythmic support from the public (that "the dead do not move & the living move"), the latter being asked to clap their hands pace. The climax came when we were offered to sing in chorus "CHICAGO If You Want Some Blues, This Is The You Have to go up. " It's so true ... Failing to go is a bit of Chicago who came up to us and if we take into account Africa mentioned in the first part, it was casually mini tower world in one night ...
