Mario Canonge "Zouk Out" Trio

Disruptive, "Zouk Out" is a jazz album that reflects the pressing need to abolish conventions, an endless thirst to reinvent the original combinations of the genre. The pianist Mario Canonge is undoubtedly one of the greatest representatives of the Caribbean music, come to settle in Paris since 1979, co-founder of the famous group Ultramarine, accompanist of Dee Dee Bridgewater, Nicole Croisille ... He also collaborated with Kassav, Malavoi, Michel Jonasz, Laurent Voulzy, Richard Bona, Manu Dibango ... "This fourteenth opus is my personal conception of a Caribbean jazz. He respects our musical traditions punctuated by this powerful original marker that is the drum. Less popular than its Spanish-speaking and English-speaking islanders, the syncopations of the French West Indies are no less melodious. They are still forgotten that many renowned musicians have their inspiration. Zouk Out is a reflection of a jazz tribute to the origins of zouk, my people. This is the expression of what I am, a jazzman close to his roots, who invites to the discovery of authentic phrasings resolutely modern." A master on the subject!
