Zanzibar

Description

With a smile on his lips and freedom more than ever ingrained in his being, Johnny delivers a deep and enigmatic third album, ZANZIBAR. - - This third installment of the Narvalo trilogy was recorded, produced, and enhanced by Jean Lamoot in 2022, between Paris (Mercredi 9) and Carpentras (Studio Véga). A collective creation with his brothers, Kik (harmonicas), Ronan Drougard (electric guitars), and Steven Goron (drums), who have supported him wholeheartedly for so many years, this collection of 13 tracks takes us far into his imagination, which is so rooted in reality, as in "Vers les Îles," where he invites Rosemary Standley, the sunny singer from Moriarty, to set sail with him, offering us a magnificent duet. - - Fixi (Java, Tony Allen), Camille Bazbaz, and Guimba Kouyaté, guitarist for Salif Keita, subtly enhance this beautiful score. - - Love songs, deliberately slower tempos, a more refined voice, and sumptuous adaptations in French of The Clash (Rebel Waltz), Hank Williams (I Heard that lonesome whistle blow), or Johnny Cash (What do I care) complete the beautifully crafted picture of his dear suburban home.
