Etienne Mbappe – Country Side

Etienne MBAPPÉ's hitherto unacknowledged dream was to produce a Country-Folk album, a music he particularly loves, introducing colorful, spicy ingredients from his native Africa. A musical project with calm, soothing tones, soft and enveloping, reassuring and comforting. A way of thinking and writing that moves away from the thundering, frenetic urban hustle and bustle, to explore beyond.
An in-depth approach to resonating arpeggios and other crystalline sweeps of steel-stringed acoustic guitars, the basis of the Country-Folk instrumentation.
A few notes on the piano, a violin alternately bowed or delicately pizzicatoed, a round, sober bass, a few percussive elements to support the vocals.
"COUNTRY - SIDE", an invisible bridge over the Atlantic Ocean, linking secret African rhythms to American country-folk music. Two worlds intertwine in occult, circular dances. Captivating vocals and bewitching melodies with vernacular accents.
