« Les Égarés », an album recorded by two virtuoso duos (Sissoko-Segal, and Peirani-Parisien), each excelling in the art of blending sounds and transcending genres.
"Les Egarés" is more than a record. It is a playground, a musical living space, a poetic asylum inhabited by a double duo: Ballaké Sissoko (kora) and Vincent Segal (cello) on one side, Vincent Peirani (accordion) and Emile Parisien (saxophone) on the other. With these magicians, 2+2 no longer equals 4, but 1. For it is indeed a unity of spirit and a fluidity of sound that these strong personalities invent together, disregarding any competition of ego to serve the common musical good. Neither jazz nor traditional, neither chamber nor avant-garde, but a bit of all that at once, "Les Egarés" is that album where the ear is the king instrument, where virtuosity is expressed in the art of being complicit, where the simple and grand desire to listen to the other leads to the birth of a splendid four-voiced song. A record without a solo voice that, nonetheless, never stops singing. "We walk without knowing where we are going, letting ourselves go to the pleasure of being lost," summarizes Vincent Segal.
