"They litterally bewitch even the most apathic with a mixture of earth and air, textured atmospheres with a strong feminine touch; songwriting with African, reggae, and modern influences that blend together in a completely original manner." Is what a Montreal-based journalist wrote about DobaCaracol, a band formed around Doriane Fabreg and Carole Facal. Two Quebecoises who met at a rave, and decided to team up when they discovered they both shared a love for percussion-driven music. They made two albums, Soley came out in 2004. They sing in African dialects, French, English and a made-up language; Zap Mama , Manu Chao (Etrange has the same potential as Chao's Me Gustas Tu) and maybe even Dutch Eurovision-contestants Treble are among their musical peers. Solay's a sunny album, that at times smells a little too much like patchouli and henna for my taste. Recommended if like to walk barefoot through meadows.

Nice stuff yet again.
BeantwoordenVerwijderenComparing them to Treble (although I made the assocation as well) is not fair. Treble is a one-trick poney with three heads who couldn't pull off their trick. And I assume they can't really write songs, either.
