Search - Pierre Bensusan :: Vividly

If World Music symbolized the meeting or fusion of traditional music, art music, popular music or even folk music then Bensusan is one of the most eloquent World Music musicians of our time. From this powerful source which infuses his music, he heralds a singular rapture which is his signature, one that is clean, fluid, elegant and tender. The title of the album, Vividly, gives voice to all facets of a vast world, one of emotion without artifice, a serene world flowing and ample which aptly reflects the universe of an artist in constant evolution. This is the world of a musician free of labels, prejudice, who criss-crosses the planet each year, far and wide, encountering people and music, beyond borders and bias. The word VIVIDLY exists only in English, and it pertains to a friend of Bensusan (now passed on) who invented atmospheres, spontaneously, in lightning-fast shortcuts. Vividly means instant pleasure, joy, jubilation poured into one second, what Jack Kerouac most cerebrally called, the golden eternity. This is the space which suits Pierre Bensusan. His remarkably masterful technique, releasing powerful virtuosity and feeling, never overtakes the pure pleasure, which is omnipresent. This is what makes The Bensusan Sound.
