卡別尼亞三人行 Sam Karpienia Trio
「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.
