Aka moon aka truth 1992

Fabrizio Cassol, Michel Hatzigeorgiou and Stéphane Galland are the founding members of the core trio. All three were already active musicians playing in various bands. Aka Moon is a natural repository of this state of being, and took up this invisble thread during a journey to the Aka Pygmies in the Central African Republic. Since then, their work has developed into a network of continuous exchange not only between musicians from the four corners of the globe, but also between all these musicians and all the people who share their musical adventure as music-lovers and people of the world. Aka Moon juggles with polyrhythms and polyphonies like mad DJs, they slide from one phrase into another, opening up new harmonic and rhythmic paths, just like those whose soul they met in the African forests, in the infinite beauty of Indian music, or in the drums of west Africa, and bring us back in subtle ways to our own culture. Their music is diversity itself and there is something for everybody contemporary, jazz, rock, or even for those who are looking to trance in techno or jungle. With Aka Moon, you just have to open up your soul and your body, and let the music do the rest. Le groupe a été fondé au début des années 9O. Les musiciens d'Aka Moon sont reconnus pour pratiquer une musique riche, influencée par leurs voyages autour du monde. Leur musique est très influencée par celle de Steve Coleman, notamment en ce qui concerne la polyrythmie. De nombreuses collaborations « exotiques », notamment avec les pygmées d’Afrique centrale (d’où le groupe tire d’ailleurs son nom), ou des percussionnistes indiens, sont présentes dans leur discographie.
