Mama At Twilight: Death By Love is the tale of a family's struggle to remain a family. In its treatment of HIV/AIDS the author has offered us real people we recognize and relate to. The play is moving and The Lower Bottom Playaz deliver a realistic rendering of a family moving towards implosion.
Mr & Mme Okkö, affaire à suivre... Cette formation est composée de 5 musiciens aux origines ne pouvant qu'engendrer un style bien à elle lors de leur mise en commun. Pour surligner à merveille la musique d'un bassiste et un percussionniste cubains, d'un batteur argentin et d'un guitariste algérien, la voix de la chanteuse marocaine massira est l'outil de pointe qu'il faut. d'un ton chaud et grave, laissant dépasser une pointe de folie dirigée, elle illustre les mélodies tantôt bossa tristoune, tantôt funk transcendantal par des textes aussi fouillés qu'accrocheurs.
à venir : l'enregistrement live à Thil dans la maison bio de Philippe (clip Vidéo)
