Il y a des voix qu’on voudrait encore pouvoir entendre de leur vivant, celle de Ghédalia Tazartes en font partie. Ce concert au Centre Culturel Suisse a permis cette rencontre, et cette 6e Golaboration avec la bande des 4 de GOL., et c’est encore sur le label italien Planam, l’album s’intitule Alpes, du Jungfrau au Signalkuppe en passant par il Gran Paradiso et la Corne du Diable, la messe des monts est dite.
The sixth Gollaberration features a rather odd encounter indeed! It all happened when matchless vocalist Ghedalia Tazartes challenged GOL dada-style quartet. Ghedalia threw in the game his pan-africanasian singing techniques blending gypsy, jewish and trans-continental flavor. GOL exceeded on Electric Mandoline, Jew’s Harps, Percussions, Janotron, Flutes, Electric Guitar, Bass Guitar, Electronic Garage and Voice. Together with Ghedalia they developed into what became a « bal musette » for mentally disabled. Reaching at some points the sides of rock that doesn’t roll, this sonic attack jumps from topic to topic as a ritualistic anthology of unknown « ritournelles ». Such a decadence was hardly contained in the neutral environment of the Swiss Cultural Center in Paris where the recording took place on Feb 22nd and 23rd, 2011. Tired liver resonances accurately rendered by the acid yellow cover created by Dennis Tyfus. A mountain peaks journey below the very heart of no-where Europe to be consumed gently without skis on.
