Etienne MBAPPÉ’s hidden dream of producing a Country-Folk album, a music he is particularly fond of, with colorful, spicy ingredients from his native Africa.. Amusical project with calm, soothing tones, soft and enveloping, reassuring and comforting. A way of thinking and writing that moves away from the thundering, frenetic urban hustle and bustle to explore beyond.

An in-depth approach to resonating arpeggios and other crystalline sweeps of steel-string acoustic guitars, the basis of Country-Folk instrumentation.

A few notes on the piano, a violin that alternates between bowing and delicate pizzicatos, a round, sober bass and a few percussive elements to support the voices.

“COUNTRY – SIDE”, an invisible bridge over the Atlantic Ocean, linking secret African rhythms with American Country – Folk music. Two worlds intertwine in occult, circular dances. Captivating vocals and enchanting vernacular melodies.
