pimp myspace - GENERATE YOUR OWN WORLDMAP NOW! E D E N R O O T S L I B E R A T I O N , B I O G R A P H Y ------------------------------------------------------------ ------------------ 1990-1995: The origin Eden Roots members knew each other for a long time. They met in 1990 in Freetown, through Massive Roots Band (the leader, Don Lucas, was a member of the "Twelve tribes of Israel"). They found their passion in music and reggae through different ways. One of them studied music, arts and politics, others gained their musical ideas in the ghetto (with Don Lucas). In the following years, the political situation and the civil war didn’t allow musical activities in Freetown. 1995-2000: Musical adventure to Mali One of the musicians, Patrick Kousi, left Sierra Leone to Guinea to find a favourable musical scene. Lloyd Tommy joined him some times later. They later met with the two others musicians, Joseph Coba and Abdul Jimmy. They got an opportunity with a Malian Reggaeman Askia Modibo who was searching for a group to work his music and tour the sub-region (West Africa). He engaged the group and they started their concerts in Guinea and Mali and later in Burkina. 2000-2005 : The malian experience In Mali, their musical style attracted many other artists : Mingilito from Benin, the malian reggaemen Koko Dembélé, Aziz Wonder and Ousmane Mai, Diaz from Niger... Eden Roots participated to arrangements, recordings, and accompanied some of these artists in concerts. 2006-2007 : « Genesis » Since their departure from Sierra Leone, time has created their own reggae style and each of the musicians worked on compositions. Some musicians left, others came. The bassist Lloyd Tommy and the pianist Patrick Kousi remained the heart of the group. Since 2006, they worked on the recording of their first album, which became « Genesis ». With the unmissable Manjul and his studio Humble Ark, they developed their own sound, a real roots sound, which is a result of a long time experience that they acquired together. This experience was influenced by a wild variety of knowledge, Jungle Reggae & Roots Music, from West Africa and also the Caribbean islands. Officially out in Sierra Leone in February 2008. ------------------------------------------------------------ ------------------ 1990-1995: L’origine Les membres d’Eden Roots sont camarades de musique de longue date. Leur rencontre date de 1990 à Freetown, à travers notamment le groupe « Massive Roots » (dont le leader, Don Lucas, est membre des "Twelves tribes of Israël"). Parmi les membres du groupe, chacun fait son éducation musicale à sa manière, certains à l’église méthodiste (Sierra Leone Studying Arts, music and politics), d’autres dans le milieu sierra léonais (avec Don Lucas). Vers 1994, la situation politique et la guerre civile empêchent toute activité musicale à Freetown. 1995-2000 : L’aventure musicale vers le Mali L’un des musiciens, Patrick Kousi, quitte la Sierra Leone pour la Guinée et trouve un milieu musical propice. Lloyd Tommy le rejoindra quelques années plus tard. Deux autres musiciens, Joseph Coba et Abdul Jimmy se grefferont au groupe. Une opportunité se présente alors avec le Reggaeman malien Askia Modibo qui cherche des musiciens pour travailler sa musique et tourner dans la sous-région. Il engage les musiciens pour venir de la Guinée vers le Mali, en poursuivant jusqu’au Burkina. 2000-2005 : L’expérience malienne Au Mali, les sonorités de ses artistes intéressent de nombreux musiciens : le béninois Mingilito, les maliens Koko Dembélé, Aziz Wonder, Ousmane Mai, le Nigérien Diaz pour ne citer qu’eux. Ils participent aux arrangements, enregistrements et accompagnent ces artistes sur scène. 2006-2007 : L’enregistrement de l’album « Genesis » Depuis le départ de la Sierra Leone, un répertoire et un style propre à eux se mettent en place. Certains des musiciens sont partis, d’autres sont venus. Le bassiste Lloyd Tommy et le clavier Patrick Kousi restent la base de la formation. A partir de 2006, ils travaillent sur l’enregistrement de leur propre album autoproduit qui deviendra « Genesis ». Avec l’incontournable Manjul et son studio Humble Ark, ils mettent en place leur propre son, un son acoustique de qualité, fruit d’une longue expérience en commun. Cette expérience s’est nourrie d’influences très variées, à la saveur Jungle Reggae & Roots Music, provenant à la fois de l’Afrique de l’Ouest, de l’Afrique du Sud ou encore des lointaines Caraïbes. Sortie officielle en Sierra Leone en février 2008. |
