RIVIERE NOIRE

First time Orlando Morais ( Vocals), Pascal Danae (Guitars, vocals, percussions, keyboards) and Jean Lamoot (Bass, programming, guitar) got together in Jean's studio in Paris, they barely spoke and almost immediately began to play. The call of Mali was already being felt, its breath inhabited each song. The band settled for 10 days in Salif Keita's studio in Bamako joined by rooted malian artists. Riviere Noire's first eponymous album was released on Jan the 20th of 2014 and was critically acclaimed.
