Kôlam

Description

Prabhu Edouard is today one of the emblematic figures of Indian "groove" beyond its borders. This nomadic rhythmician has crossed paths with the greatest masters of India as well as the alchemists of musical experimentation (H. Chaurasia, Lakshmi Shankar, Nguyên Lê, Joachim Kühn, Jordi Savall, Vincent Segal, Magic Malik...). Recorded in Paris, Leeds (UK), Mumbai, and Calcutta, the music of Kôlam weaves the musical fabric of a journey that starts in India and escapes to the four corners of the world through improvisation and the artist's taste for fusion. // "Prabhu Edouard delivers an album with a haunting and serene sound." Le Monde // "In this mystical and sensual Orient, a gnawa trance accompanies a baul incantation, the Japanese koto of Mieko Miyazaki echoes the carnatic singing, and a saxophone stretches ethereal spirals around three notes of santour. Astonishing." Anne Berthod - Telerama
