Claude Fontaine - La Mer - COMPACT DISCS [CD]

Released on Innovative Leisure, La Mer is a mesmerizing portal. It's impossible for it to exist outside of the modern moment, but it floats on the gilded dust of the past. At times, Fontaine channels Jane Birkin as backed by Jorge Ben. Francois Hardy locked into sonic reverie with Mulatu Astatke, or Margo Guryan making lovers rock. Sergio Mendes' percussionist, Gibi Dos Santos, supplies propulsive locomotion. So does Ziggy Marley's drummer, Rock Deadrick. And that's just the abridged list of storied instrumentalists who appear on La Mer. Album Tracks 1. Vaqueiro 2. Love the Way You Love 3. Green Ivy Tapestry 4. Laissez-Moi L'aimer 5. Concha Del Mar 6. Lover's Vow 7. Camacari 8. Small Hours 9. Reliquia 10. Marmalade Haze 11. Kissing the Sun 12. Chuva de Verao
