CHARLY YAPO

Radical Sound thwart the rules of the creation.

Charly Yapo, Ivory Coast bass player and composer, is all-out Radical Sound, a warm and textured music. Is presenting, a rarely seen formula where it is the bass player who is made the one-man band. Indeed far from the style Jean Leloup with whom he works since 2002.

Radical Sound. This sound, anchored in African reggae, enriches the musical texture as it enables the musician to explore different styles within a same tune. As the guitar improvises rocker style, the saxophone flirts with salsa and the bass guitar slides towards afro-pop. For Charly Yapo, the Radical Sound presented in this first Opus is entirely in the Tangara feeling. In other words, reggae served up in an afro, pop, funk, salsa, rock, jazz saucebecause largely influenced by jazz, soul and even pop music, but conserving the rhythmic authenticity specific to African reggae, who allows him to thwart the rules of the creation. Thus, invited artist, all from different horizons and styles, come together harmoniously. As we listen to the songs of this album, we realize that Charly Yapos music is the result of a long apprenticeship spent refining his creations. After many years in the making, he is finally ready.
