BENGALIFERE TRIO :
Bengalifère Trio is the name given to 3 young improvising musicians:
Jordi CASSAGNE - double bass, Matthieu LEBRUN -saxophone and
Julen ACHIARY – percussion and vocals.
These three inventive musicians bring a fresh approach to the art of a trio…
They have already travelled along the roads of free jazz traced out by Ornette Coleman, dug deep down into the African roots of Don Cherry and John Coltrane, embraced the soaring intensity of Daunik Lazro… sung the song of the eagles gliding in the skies, bringing a new insight to truly timeless Basque musical traditions… They give voice to skin, metal, cascabelle rattles and bells with the sure and melodious harmony of the greatest traditions of rhythm, the alchemy of Rachid Ali and Xenakis, the flamboyance of black sounds: skimmed, ricocheted, pounded and played to the core…

Three circumvoluted spirals coiling and entwining
within each musical moment… Dazzling themes, gathered and collected, are opened
and projected within a magnificent surrealist universe that transforms them… wild
Asian landscapes with a flavour of high mountains, the murmuring rustle of
tropical rainforests, the crashing of waves, the song of lovers, a world drunk
on the elation of twinkling stars, the heady seduction of spices, a certain
je-ne-sais-quoi that, with their simple modesty, does not obstruct the
enjoyment of lapping at the source and venturing down new roads…
Roads where action and movement are expressed in a tribute to life.
