Abdu Salim, of Texan origin, Andalusian by predilection, Dexter Gordon Award, is a generous, inventive saxophonist and flutist, possessing a sparkling musicality and endowed with a savage sound now rough then soft. A physical musician for music that comes from the soul. Akim Bournane, Algerian by birth, is a virtuoso double bass player whose solos we wish to hear through pure gourmandise, desire and necessity. Christian Ton-Ton Salut, the foreman of this architecture composed of notes, experienced shaman, through the magic of his sticks puts the best qualities of each of his fellow musicians in touch in concert. He must be a bit of a sorcerer to suddenly make this magical music appear, secretly African, which long afterwards haunts our temples as a spell....
