Description

Navega! presents new songs and very rock guitars, like a return to the roots for Blu, who grew up listening to the talkative guitar heroes of the 70s before diving into reggae. This blues grounding is also very Occitan, as this language shares with English an astonishing ability to produce free, moving, polysemous, generous images. The more standardized material of French tends towards modesty, melancholy, and introspection. The linguistic lushness of Occitan invites outpouring and instinctive drive. Thus, to French return the sung tribute to the sublime Louise Brooks or the memory of the bindweeds of childhood loves, and to Occitan the celebrations of the art of living and fighting in those lands, or La Balada d’Henri Diffonty, which remembers a resistance fighter executed by the Nazis. Through this song, Moussu T e lei Jovents place heroes, known by the names of streets, into an everyday life of sunshine and hard work. This reminder also states that Moussu T e lei Jovents' sole purpose is not just to chain concerts and albums, but to be useful to the lives of those who listen to them. This is the role of musicians in traditional societies, but also that of the legendary Joe Hill, author of multiple labor struggle songs in the United States over a century ago. The idea, again and always, is to bring new songs to the folklore of our cities and neighborhoods. Bertrand Dicale
