Beyond the last bastion of the civilization, a rock barrier is soaring up towards the African sky.
This place does not appear on any maps, it is a peculiar place full of mysteries where the sacred lies.
A luxuriant forest is emerging from this mountain where the trees ensure a privileged link between heaven and earth.
According to an ancient legend, it happens to be in this particular place that the mysterious work of nature is revealing itself to the mankind.
Throughout their journeys and meetings, three men have experienced this enlightenment. From this mystical and positive energy shall arise “Live&Full Power”.
Creating its own balance between heaven and earth, Live&Full Power has released its first opus, half-hidden in a dub mist, bathed in the World Music light, a “gingerbread” cocktail flavoured by African spices. A generous and rhythmic emphasis, some bouncy sound effects, a swaying bass rhythm, electronic undulations and vibrating layers are mixed up together to become a tropical and greenish dub. Live&Full Power has disclosed a whole universe of journeys and daydreams, this levitation is based on a groovy atmosphere and an invitation to dance.
Bruno, a prolific stagehand, has not only built on his experience in the Dub music through three opuses by promoting the groups Mr Duc (electro/dub/Indus) and Angstrom (trio dub/rock) but also by performing on stage with Zenzile, Ezekiel, The Skatalites and Asian Dub Foundation.
Naturally raised by the heritage from the Lyon scene, he is now better known as R-dug, dynamic live dub between digital roots and UK steppa, melodica and “dub siren” (home-made by the team Dub Addict) making up a powerful and hypnotic live faithful to the UK Dub. Kacem, professional dancer and skilled bass player, turns out to be an impressive performer on stage. His vigorous style is strongly influenced by his experience of ten years in the Caribbean’s. Like a roar in the rising sun, his performance is an interesting combination between different Caribbean and African styles.
The African earth has such a strong impact on him that he has built a partnership with the Dakar cultural scene along with Zal, dancer, drummer, poet and charismatic singer of the band. Living in Dakar, he draws his inspiration from the reality which is surrounding him, from the complexity of the world.
Like a traditional storyteller “griot”, he delivers a spiritual and captivating message. Traditions’ keeper and real architect of the contemporary African culture, his songs are referring to the roots of the poetry.
