Awa Ly knows how to wear chameleon cloths. His music moves between a thousand rivets ranging from Blues to Pop - Rock, caressing the elegant songwriter and keeping his hands strong in his particular love for Jazz, which underlines the Chantons project ! Awa Ly has crossed the world for various reasons, even artistic, and his music is the result of such nomadism. But he has never put aside his native and his mother tongue. Paris Jazz is the sum of two passions of the Franco-Senegalese singer: jazz and French chansonniers . Chantons! took shape in 2003 with the experienced pianist Teramano Arturo Valiante and the multifaceted contrabbassist Valerio Serangeli . The trio already has two discs: Amour , 2008 and J'ai deux amours , 2009, both destined for the Asian market only. Paris Jazz , fired for Alfa Music, is therefore their first European record label and also sees the participation of a group of renowned Italian musicians (particularly the stamps and colors drawn by Aldo Bassi's trumpet) that contributed to give body to a job more than pleasing, well-set and crossing the history of some French music. Indeed, given the nourished track-list (fourteen songs for just over fifty minutes of good music), these are songs that have marked a few generations in the time span since the mid-forties ( La Vie en Rose , C'est bon , both interpreted with the right palm and natural freshness) to reach the contemporaneity with two songs signed by the trio ( L'amour here goes , Toi you n'es pas there ) that mirror the air moderately which pleasantly draws on the work. There is a great interplay in clear letters, the three musicians play with notes with surprising ease, even in the new Je ne joue plus , all of us figured out as one of Mina's great achievements: I do not play anymore. http://www.jazzitalia.net/recensioni/parisjazz.asp

One night, Awa had a dream ... The atmosphere was enchanted, as mystic, nimbed in a scenography summoning the moon, the Earth and the elements. An ancestral mixture between the Indians of America and Africa, the shaman was there, expressing himself in an unknown tongue, telling real or fantasized stories. These accounts, she received others, appropriated them, impregnated them, shared their joy, relieved pain or contained sadness. Upon awakening, the shamanic narrator had fainted but her presence was still palpable, Awa made the storyteller of this new album: Five and a Feather. This album was directed by Jean Lamoot and Pascal Danaé (Victory of the Music 2015, category music of the world with their group Rivière Noire Collaborations with Black Désir, Bashung, Salif Keita, Gainsbourg, Giberto Gil, Peter Gabriel, Ayo, Mayra Andrade ) with the participation of Faada Freddy, Paco Sery, Ballake Sissoko, Greg Cohen and Slow Joe. https://www.amazon.fr/Five-Feather-Awa-Ly/dp/B01BESGO1A
