Ra­bas­ta

Rabasta Laurent Estoppey, saxophones, effects Immanuel de Souza, guitar, effects Benoît Moreau, organ, electronics David Meier, drums Rabasta is a hip hop instrumental quartet that plays a repertoire of fragmented compositions in a collectively developed interpretation. While the musical aesthetic of hip-hop culture is a starting point and a present color, the absence of vocals and the search for an unstable but driving rhythm deliberately place Rabasta's music at a certain distance from rap. What's more, the four musicians' instrumental practice, largely steeped in improvisation and experimentation of all kinds, also takes their sound development into less determined territory. https://benoitmoreau.blogspot.com/p/rabasta.html Bild: Leonard Rossi
