Desert Dream

Description

After a first album on the legendary Blue Note label, Tiwayo returns in 2023 with a high-flying folk/soul album!
How do you invent the next chapter when your first album was released on the Blue Note label, produced by Mark Neill, known for his work on The Black Keys records? This is probably the question Tiwayo, a thirty-something Parisian fan of American black music, asked himself. The answer: "Desert Dream," a less produced album, less gospel-blues, more fragile, more refined. An timeless and essential album that emerges from time to time, despite all the trends governing the present moment, from Tracy Chapman to Sufjan Stevens, including Wilco, Bon Iver, Ben Harper…
One can hear the echo of the silence of the vast arid American spaces. This soul of America, contained in its endless, dusty, and lonely roads, that lead straight to the hope of a calmer tomorrow. Tiwayo charts this road as a lonesome multi-instrumentalist cowboy, documenting his journey with his veiled voice in ten songs that are impossible to resist.
