Bancal Chéri

Description

Bancal Chéri has fun, holds the door, takes marked paths like unexpected corridors, alternating between little slaps and bites. Percussions, guitars, keyboards, double bass. A lush, electric, cheeky, democratic cavalcade. Without a shortage of fuel. The band plays hopscotch with genres. Cyclothymic, progressive, and fierce rock. Song. Instrumental. A kaleidoscopic record. A record with a pickpocket's appetite. Here, we can summon Nino Ferrer, Dutronc, stick teenage love lyrics onto the Village Green music of the Kinks, pay tribute to a master of rhythm and blues (Screamin Jay Hawkins), and invite the youth to be more reckless. This record makes the resonance of a sound, a flame, and free figures heard. Like that of Roland Bourbon, a sorcerer of an epic, shamanic piece in which the languages of Aramaic, Armenian, and Comanche intertwine. Bancal Chéri prefers conquest to wandering. Allows itself all audacity. And plunges into shifting spaces. Sometimes it's good not to be reasonable.
