Hailing from the French Alps, where Réunion-natives and young \"metropolitan\" French youngsters have been sharing parties, food and music for years, Les Pythons De La Fournaise are a flavoursome electric \"Séga\" band and they have already put out a couple of albums over the last decade.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThis time, they are interpreting Séga and Maloya songs under the form of a - nearly – all-acoustic orchestra : \"L'Orchestre Du Piton\" !\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThis Long-Player has got a particular sound and character, starting with a powerful four-woman choir (often sung in unison, in accordance with the Maloya tradition). The \"lead\" is a different singer on almost every song, which brings a variety of tone and vocal texture to the album.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eInstead of keys, organ or synth, Les Pythons went for accordion ; they also brought into the studio an array of percussion, ranging from classic bongos and bells to typical instruments of the Indian Ocean : theKayamb, the Pikeur, the Sati and most notably the Roulèr– the king of them all, majestic barrel-shelled bass drum.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eOn songs like \"Anon Manz Demiel\" (Let's go and eat honey), two crazy electric guitars with intertwined riffs add a fresh element to the sound – somewhat echoeing with Esquivel's exotica and Congolese rumba at the same time !\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eAnd the most unusual fact on this record : there is no bass guitar. Perhaps the band had a statement to make; in our modern music culture where bass plays a central role, they prove that one can move to other sounds – and appreciate the more organic deepness of percussion.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eWhether or not you look into the meaning of the songs (mostly from the Réunion repertoire with a couple of Mauritian exceptions and one original \"Pythons\" composition), you will feel the mood of the Creole lyrics – a deep love story in \"Maloya Tantine\", an hymn to slowness and indolence in \"Tou Dou\", a clumsy chat-up scene in \"Malbaraise\"...\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eAnd overall, a joyful, fresh and sparkly energy emanates from this \"Orchestre\" sound, from this exceptionally talented crew.
