Travel in cosmopolitanism
It is a known fact that we can travel in space. But it is also possible to travel within others, transporting ourselves into the mind and imagination of another being, real or imagined, until we are intimately familiar with his hopes, sorrows, fears, and desires. We can also travel in time, and explore an era maybe long gone, or even enter a realm that might have never existed. All this happens through magic. A magic called art. The artist is someone who, in effect, sets ups and plans such travels. Obviously, he first makes the journey by himself, before taking us along for the ride. Some artists do it with words, other with images. Still others, such as Yannick Rieu, make us travel with sounds. These travels are not without risks for the artist, nor for the traveler willing to go along on the journey. The artist doesn’t fancy rehashed monotony and refuses to go down the oft-traveled roads. He’d rather take risks, and foray tirelessly in unchartered territories that are as foreign to him, as they are to us. Such is the case of this marvelous, yet surprising album for anyone who has followed Rieu’s travels, throughout the years. It is a voyage by which we are reminded that music is a universal language, created by and for all. A voyage in a place where Rieu himself never stopped encountering the varied musical styles that are intimately linked to his music and his own self. In this latest offering, he invites us to access a singular venue where, as you will soon discover, the personal meets the universal, seamlessly blending into it, without sacrificing authenticity and intimacy. Appropriately, the musical journey begins in Africa, our original common homeland, in a church (« Église de brousse ») where rhythms and harmonies first exchanged wedding vows, later giving birth to jazz. The journey then stretches out in time, space, thought, and imagination, with equal finesse and sensitivity. Characteristically rendered with unaffected virtuosity and devoid of any artifice, as Rieu’s fans have come to expect from an artist with whom they’ve traveled so often before. In these troubled times easily set ablaze by volatile issues, such as cultural mixing and borrowings, acquaintances and encounters, MachiNations comes to the rescue, without words, nor fanfare. In spite of all controversies, intimacy has reached into the universal, and accepted as such, in the realm of cosmopolitanism, one out of many things our world is craving for. Rabindranath Tagore expressed better than anyone else how this splendid album makes the listener feel and better comprehend, once he’s reached the end of this bountiful musical journey: « Whatever we understand and enjoy in human products instantly becomes ours, wherever they might have their origin. I am proud of my humanity when I can acknowledge the poets and artists of other countries as my own. Let me feel with unalloyed gladness that all the great glories of man are mine. » Bon voyage.
