The French pianist Simon Denizart and the Canadian percussionist Elli Miller Maboungou who plays mainly the calabash (percussion from West Africa) associate themselves with this music born of explorations matured over more than three years. Their association is magical, obvious, and leads throughout the album to a sensitive music, while releasing a disturbing emotion. The album was born from the idea of creating, by superimposing several layers of piano, different and more electronic sounds without ever betraying its acoustic source. With Nomad, we savor his jazz connected to world music, energizing, melodious and very accessible.
