「卡別尼亞三人行」同樣來自馬賽,在搖滾的曲風及節奏中,神奇的包裹著佛朗明哥及古歐舒丹詩文構成的新音樂,替代吉他的是阿爾吉利亞古弦琴,讓他們的音樂跨越古今東西,聽起來卻渾然天成. |
From Kanjar'oc to Gacha Empega and Dupain, Sam Karpienia has
transformed the Marseilles music scene, revitalizing it with a
poetic intensity and offering a unique voice. His unforgettable
sound, a gem polished by the elemental forces that pervade the
Mediterranean, reflects the intoxicating exhilaration of
rebetiko, or Greek urban folk music, as much as the feverishness
of flamenco and, of course, the joyous insolence of the new
Provençale music of which he is a mainstay. However, this
proclaimed Occitan has not forgotten the West and the energy of
his music approaches that of rock, but a rock that has escaped
binary rhythms and one in which instruments of Algerian Chaabi
music replace guitar riffs.
This surprising springboard of sounds, rhythms and harmonies
supports and propels the voice of the singer and helps him break
the barrier of modesty that has separated him from his mother
tongue. He holds back on the usage of the Occitan language in
favor of French, extracting from it clear words and symbols
which he endows with melodic curves whose raw and unaffected
beauty celebrate life through the themes of voyages, benevolent
loved ones, exchanged words or the redeeming sun. Sam Karpienia
describes eternal initiatory experiences in which we recognize
the magical moments of our own lives.
