BEAT by Grand Ensemble Koa
Eight musicians and one voice for an electric and dreamlike journey: Grand Ensemble Koa continues to develop its musical touch, navigating between jazz, rock, unusual melodies and libertarian poetry! The finely chiseled writing of bassist Alfred Vilayleck, the luminous vocals of Caroline Sentis, the modernity of the groove and the improvisations perfectly serve the contagious energy of these accomplices who gave birth to Collectif Koa more than 10 years ago. In “Beat” (Neuklang / Pias), the French ensemble sets to music the texts of American poets from the Beat Generation; Jack Kerouac, Allen Ginsberg and William Burroughs with guitarist Serge Lazarevitch as a guest.
