Roberto Fonseca Trio - Live at Cosmo Jazz Festival
29/12/2022
With its free sets nestled in the heights of Chamonix, the Cosmo Jazz Festival is on the way to becoming one of the most beautiful in France. Organized by André Manoukian and Charles Vetter, this family-friendly summer program is complemented by a varied line-up of quality. After a memorable performance by bassist Kyle Eastwood in 2021, the event returns in 2022 with the brilliant Roberto Fonseca. Originally from Cuba, the pianist has compiled an interesting discography (we remember a beautiful session with Fatoumata Diawara in Marciac) where Afro-American, Latin, but also classical influences are merged.
This fascinating repertoire reveals the richness of the musical heritage of the great Caribbean island. Surrounded by Yandi Martinez on (double)bass and Ruly Herrera on drums, the native of Havana delivers his share of skillful pieces like "Lluvia" and "Aggua," and shares his science of rhythm as induced by the heady "Mambo Pa La Niña" and its solar bursts of music. Captured on the Planpraz site, a belvedere facing Mont Blanc, this film is punctuated by breathtaking views. An obvious phenomenon when listening to "No Soy De Esos," a celestial theme to say the least, and peak of this very singular concert… Watch now on Qwest TV.
