Tonbé lévé

Description

Focused on a contemporary Jazz aesthetic, Tonbé Lévé, the debut album by Arnaud Dolmen, is infused with Caribbean rhythms, including that of Gwoka, the traditional music and dance of Guadeloupe, his homeland. Among the 13 tracks composed by the international drummer, five renowned guests feature, including pianist Mario Canonge and guitarist Lionel Loueke. Arnaud and his three accomplices unleash both simple and elaborate melodies. - - By collaborating with Jacques Schwarz-Bart, Naïssam Jalal, and David Linx, the conductor with two sticks gives Tonbé Lévé an abstract, unique dimension that represents our world. Through this album, Arnaud Dolmen asserts that the imbalances of life are a strength, aided by his airy, swift, and unpredictable playing enriched with incisive notes.
