For their tenth Buda Musique release, and to mark 30 years of fruitful collaboration with the label, Viviane Arnoux (France) and François Michaud (Quebec), founders of the Musique Acoustique Machine Company, join forces with virtuoso guitarist Hervé Samb (Senegal) for a moving and jubilant communion of tricontinental cultures. Traditional melodies and rhythms intermingle, reinventing and transcending each other to give birth to a music that is full of energy and permeated with sparkling improvisations.
The three artists of the trio and their guest, singer Maude Trutet, fly us away on a poetic journey to discover each other, to merge and blossom... with a cheerful whistle.
Viviane Arnoux: accordion, voice; Hervé Samb: acoustic guitar, classical guitar, percussion, voice; François Michaud: violin, alto, voice; Maude Trutet: voice, harmonium
