L'embardée
Description
After months of working exclusively on his own repertoire, Matmatah is slowly recovering from his 30th birthday by returning to his first love: covering other people’s songs ! Because Matmatah comes from there, from the steamy atmosphere of bars and clubs. Back in the day, they played loads of covers. Oh yes, they certainly did. So why not put a few of them together on an album? It’s a must, isn’t it? Except that… There are many ways to record an album of covers. The band could have taken the easy route and covered the songs they loved in their early days. But that would be to misunderstand these lads. They needed to come up with a proper concept to justify such a project. They came up with two: To tackle styles that are diametrically opposed to their own, so they could better make them their own. To broaden their linguistic repertoire and experiment with different sounds. The result is a rich, joyful and socially conscious collection of 20 songs, written between the 18th and 21st centuries and performed in no fewer than 10 European languages. A fine tribute to the continent’s diversity. To spice up this project, they’ve brought in the whirlwind that is Fanny Gillard on vocals for ‘Eisbär’ and ‘Putain Putain’, the powerful voice of Morgane Mercier on the eerie ‘Alison Gross’, mentor Patrick Marie for a space-age ‘Kan Ha Diskan’, and the immense Kevin Camus on the uilleann pipes and whistle for ‘The Winner Takes It All’. Matmatah takes a wild ride, travelling across Europe and through time, having fun and cheekily reworking songs he never imagined he’d play. Find the lynx!
