Info for Sou Kora

A kora, a cello, a saxophone and an accordion. We welcome 2 of the 4 musicians Vincent Segal and Vincent Peirani. Les Égarés is more than a record. It is a space for play, a place of musical life, a poetic asylum inhabited by two pairs who, for years, have excelled in the art of crossing sounds and transcending genres: Ballaké Sissoko (kora) and Vincent Segal (cello) on one side, Vincent Peirani (accordion) and Émile Parisien (saxophone) on the other. With these magicians, 2 + 2 no longer makes 4, but 1. Because it is truly a unity of spirit and a fluidity of sound that these strong individuals invent together, scorning all ego competition to put themselves at the service of the common musical good. Neither jazz nor traditional, neither chamber nor avant-garde, but a little bit of all of these at once, Les Égarés is that album where the ear is the king of instruments, where virtuosity is expressed in the art of being an accomplice, where the simple and grandiose desire to listen to the other leads to the birth of a splendid four-part song. It all starts with a summit meeting – at the top of a hill overlooking Lyon. This June evening in 2019, as part of the Les Nuits de Fourvière festival, we are preparing to celebrate the fifteenth anniversary of the NØ FØRMAT label, in a beautiful open-air setting of Roman stones. For the occasion, Vincent Segal is the master of ceremonies and holds the (musical) salon, surrounded by select guests: among them already include Ballaké Sissoko, Vincent Peirani and Émile Parisien. A pact was signed between the participants: no rehearsals were to precede what promised to be a moment of spontaneous creation. But how could one restrain such inspired individuals, driven by the desire to converse in music? In the afternoon, under an arbor that protected them from the blazing sun, they began to jam, purely for the beauty of the gesture and the grandeur of the pleasure. And then the music flowed like a spring, clear and fresh. It was in the memory of this burst of inspiration that the idea of ​​composing the Égarés quartet germinated. And that is what the recording of the album resembled: a spontaneous sharing of impulses and knowledge.
