Yonnet ft/ on Touré-Raichel Collective

Frédéric Yonnet is featured on Vieux Farka Touré (Mali) and Idan Raichel (Israel) release The Tel Aviv Session on Cumbancha Records. To listen and purchase to the hypnotic track, visit www.toureraichel.com.

Judging from the album reviews, Yonnet’s performance is well received!

• Rootworld.com  – “Perhaps the most energetic song of the session brings in a robust harmonica contribution from French musician Frédéric Yonnet, who pretty much steals “Touré” from the guitarist and pianist.”

• www.worldbeatinternational.com – “Frédéric Yonnet slam dunks the harmonica blues for the standout, Toure.”

About the Project: The virtuosic superstars from very different backgrounds, join together to create masterworks of collaboration and improvisation. After a chance meeting in an airport in Europe, Idan and Vieux forged a deep friendship that led to an impromptu get together at a small studio in Tel Aviv in November 2010. The resulting recording session – acoustic, spontaneous, entirely improvised, and stunningly beautiful – could only be described as magic, and The Touré-Raichel Collective was born. On the upcoming album The Tel Aviv Session, Idan and Vieux have captured an inspired musical moment that will bring to mind classic albums such as Talking Timbuktu by Ali Farka Touré with Ry Cooder, Keith Jarrett’s The Köln Concert or Vincent Segal and Ballake Sissoko’s acclaimed Chamber Music.
