Three days of studio, two or three taken by title, together, live. Capter le vivant. Capture alive. Saisir l'instant poétique, l'émotion du moment. Seize the moment of poetry, the emotion of the moment. This first disc reflects the unique and artistic aspirations Beñat Achiary, rooted in the language and the traditional singing of the Basque Country, inhabited by poetry, jazz and improvisation. It also shows the talent of Ramon Lopez and Philip de Ezcurra, their fusion and osmosis with Beñat and share with him celebrating improvisation. This disc is the result of ancient humanity, complicity of a carnal and spiritual, which thrives on an inner journey but also to the other. Patrick Lavaud Patrick Lavaud
