KOUYATÉ/NEERMAN QUARTET
Lansiné Kouyaté balaphon, David Neerman vibraphone, Antoine Simoni bass, Guillaume Dommartin drums
Psychedelia, dub, African jazz and extraterrestrial funk collide in the music of this unique Parisian band. David Neerman, adventurer on the vibraphone, has found his soul mate in Lansiné Kouyate. This Malian master of the balafon, the West-African xylophone, has already played with Salif Keita, Baaba Maal and Omar Sosa. Kouyaté and Neerman play as a duo as well as with their quartet. The repertoire includes a stunning cover of Serge Gainsbourg, as an ode to the colorful Parisian scene.
