These CDs were recorded live at a club called Le JAM in the city of Montpellier in the South of France.  The occasion was a series of intensive workshops and concerts over a period of two weeks.  We call these type of setups ëGrass Rootsí touring and we have done this before in the United States, Cuba, Senegal and India.  However this is the first time we have done this kind of thing in Europe.  The concerts recorded here were open to both students attending the workshops and the public, the atmosphere and energy was informal and loose.  This is the form in which we prefer to communicate our musical ideas and hopefully we will be able to continue in this approach in the future.

In the tradition of music to which we belong performances are not based on the playing of material from the ëlatestí album.  During concerts we play whatever material we feel at that moment, it does not matter which album the material is on.  At every performance there will be some compositions never before performed by us (i.e. complete spontaneous compositions), some that are new to the audience and some older original material that may or may not have been recorded.  Only the compositions "Resistance Is Futile" and "Reflex" have never been recorded before.

There was a lot of hard work put into doing this project.  Without all of the hard work of Geoffroy DeMasure, Sophia Wong, Michaela Mayer, Pierre Walfisz and all the musicians in the band these workshop, concerts and this recording would not have been possible.  We hope that this music communicates to you and that you enjoy it.
