“I offer you Chadian songs. For the music, let's do as we want or as we can”. It is in this good-natured state of mind that the project was born in N'Djamena in October 2019. Their musical conversation leads them towards a common horizon, the expression of a humanity that they call "Soul of Blues”.
On the one hand, there is the singer Abdoulaye Nderguet, 50, a voice that earned him the nickname "the Chad nightingale" as he is able to modulate it, at ease in the bass as well as the treble. He acquired different traditional singing techniques. He assures us there are "typical Sahel" elements which are similar to Blues but also, when listening, others which rub shoulders with rock or approach a genre similar to the one of West Africa griots.
On the other, there is the French organist and pianist Emmanuel Bex, 63, figure of the jazz scene, multi-awarded (Prix Django Reinhardt, Jazz Victory, Grand Prix de l'Académie Charles Cros...).
In this language of notes and incantations that they practice and know how to make heard, they instantly found each other. In the studio as on stage, they take routes that make fun of chapels, offer new directions. They expand the world.
