Tao Ravao &
Vincent Bucher - Hé, là-bas !
Hé là-bas ! Hé
là-bas ! Listen up ! It's a journey ! A trip to the country of a thousand
colours, the country of a thousand rythms. When you listen to these guys, you figure the
soul of their ancestors flying above their afro-blues. Guitars become Valiha and Kabosy,
harmonica becomes malagasy. Sometimes transe music, with men and women dancing around a
thick smoke ; festive also, with necklaces of leather and stones dangling to the rythm of
their "Loufiats".
This exotic duo is Tao Ravao, a malagasy singer/guitarist, specialised
in the traditional intruments of his native country. He is accompanied by the talented
Vincent Bucher on the harmonica. Vincent's playing is broad minded and strong, switching
quickly from single notes to tonic bass lines. These two accomplices manage while
respecting this music whose roots plunge in the depths of times to communicate their
emotions through ever elegant melodies.
Hé là-bas ! Hé là-bas ! Listen up ! It's a beautiful
journey !
