Thanks to a sometimes destructive confnement, Louis Matute took the opportunity to build

To strengthen his own foundations with elements from elsewhere. Without fear of exploring lands that are not his own, he took his six musicians on this jazz adventure. Taking inspiration from vibrations located hundreds or even thousands of kilometers away, those brought by musical messengers or directly picked up on the spot, during a necessarily enriching journey. Respecting the codes and values of the paths taken, mixing them so that nothing takes over but so that everything forms a whole.

A new culture, a new folklore. Our Folklore. Electric in a totally instrumental acoustic ensemble, his guitar applied itself to drawing the strong and expressive themes that would guide piano and brass on the route to follow. A path which, under the effect of nervous rhythms, led the six strings beyond the Mediterranean, to meet an oud playing its oriental, bewitching and mysterious melodies. The oud has become jazz as much as jazz has become oriental. In the midst of traditional South American music and melancholy pop- rock, an additional piece in this unique artistic landscape.
