Didier François and Gilles Chabenat Brand new world Didier François and Gabriel Yacoub Dans l'oubli du sommeil (Homerecords) Two complete recordings on 2 CDs in one package, both essential works of new central European folk music. On one, the passionate dialogue of two symbols of the French and Swedish traditions: vielle a roue (hurdy-gurdy) and nyckelharpa. Music that is popular and erudite, terrestrial and celestial. The second celebrates the violin and nyckelharpa in union with the human voice, with one of France's great singers at the lead, joined by Sylvie Berger and Tom Theuns. It is flawless and visceral; highly recommended.

Several centuries of lapse of memory, then ignorance, the dogmas, the culture, science, alchemical research or nuclear power ineluctably leads us to an initiation, essential to a very new world, the only possible one, the one we chose. Brand new world is this intimist and contemplative world created by Didier François and Gabriel Yacoub, mixing music and visual arts...
