ETIENNE MBAPPE - COUNTRY-SIDE

We're back with Etienne Mbappé and his top-flight quartet for his #CarteBlanche, to discover one of his most cherished projects: a Country - Folk Album, a music he's particularly fond of and which will see the light of day in 2025, introducing colorful, spicy ingredients from his native Africa.

Accompanied by his 3 faithful companions and artists Christophe on piano and fiddle, Phil on guitar, mandolin and cello, Anthony on guitar and Nicolas on drums, Etienne promises us a journey of calm and soothing, gentle and enveloping, reassuring and comforting sounds, taking us away for the duration of a concert from the thundering, frenetic urban hustle and bustle, to explore beyond. An in-depth approach to resonating arpeggios and other crystalline sweeps of steel-stringed acoustic guitars, the basis of Country - Folk instrumentation. “COUNTRY - SIDE”, an invisible bridge over the Atlantic Ocean, linking secret African rhythms with American Country-Folk music.
