Awel, Syna
Awel
For this first album, the singer Syna Awel takes us into her universe, made of tales and encounters, drawn from the depths of Kabylia, in Algeria her country of origin. Stories she puts into words and music. Karim Ziad, drummer, percussionist arranged this project for a group in which we find around Syna and himself, David Aubaile on piano and flutes and Pierre Bonnet on bass. Sung mainly in Berber language but also in French, these ten songs make us travel in oriental atmospheres, bendirs, Krakeb and derboukas are for many. But the piano also instills jazz or even pop harmonies. By listening, we will also hear some Occitan influences. Music doesnt like borders. In this beautiful setting of sounds, shaped by inspired musicians, the voice of Syna Awel can develop its ease, its power in all its nuances.
