Boa Brass Band - Boa Brass Land (2019)

A cheerful and lively musical collective established in the Yvelines, this brass band is composed of eight passionate musicians. A first album, Amas de Covers, in 2014, welded the collective. From wandering concert halls, the band, instrumental, has forged a festive identity with trumpets and saxophones supported by electric instruments (guitar, bass, drums). Many guests have joined the album: Ricky Ford, the saxophonist friend of Charles Mingus, whose rearranged piece "Cumbian fight song" opens the album, recorded the trainer "Mario Brass", Denys Danielides intervenes on two titles, including one of Bulgarian inspiration, "Fakata". "Porto Yovo", the only song sung, was made with the Beninese brass band Eyo'Nle, noticed with the Ogres of Barback, and evokes the gogos, the buttocks in Benin, of Mantes-la-Jolie. Under the influence of the Balkans but open to ska and fusion, the BBB fanfare is finally quite rock.
