The best CDs of music from the world of 2012 – inheritances and the new world
How to attack the piece? Why have abandoned beads as the Rebirth of Jimmy Cliff and the Fall of the Moon of Marcel Khalife, this creole Sylvain Leroux Quartet, this Quinto of António Zambujo, this Indio de Apartamento de Vinicius Cantuaria or all these other new generation like Céu, Curumin and Lucas Santtana Brazilians? Why not to have granted to Sagapool, Yves Lambert Trio, Vishten, Lady and Gadji-Gadjo the credit they deserve. In the necessarily random selection that follows, a constant draw: this will create a new world from the inheritance.

Add in: with its blend of aerial reveries and refined swing, the wind has retained its timbre and his way of doing, however by dirtier and more wild. Four boys in the wind now give more place to the history of Quebec and commitment than before, but the creative consistency and the high integrity persist.
