Etienne Mbappe – Country Side

Etienne MBAPPÉ's hitherto unconfessed dream of producing a Country – Folk Album, music that he particularly likes, by introducing colorful and spicy ingredients from his native Africa. A musical project with calm and soothing sounds, soft and enveloping, reassuring and comforting. A reflection and writing that moves away from the thunderous and frenetic urban hustle and bustle, to explore outside.

An in-depth approach to resonating the arpeggios and other crystalline sweeps of steel-string acoustic guitars, which are the basis of Country – Folk instrumentation.
A few notes on the piano, a violin alternately bowed or in delicate pizzicatos, a round and sober bass, a few percussive elements to support the voices.
“COUNTRY – SIDE”, an invisible gateway over the Atlantic Ocean, which connects secret African rhythms to American Country - Folk music. Two worlds which will intertwine in occult dances, with circular movements. Captivating voices and captivating melodies with vernacular accents.
