NEW
SHOW : "The Acousteel shows off" (with vocals / megaphone) |
|
|
During
more than 400 interventions, Acousteel Gang has wandered through
thousands of streets, all of them different, all of them full
of ordinary people, shoppers, festival goers, carnival followers...
Its members have created their very own way of inhabiting this
public space, they're gentle and wild, festive and friendly. The
steel drum - coming from petrol industry and Trinidad people's
imagination - is their ally, a metallic and melodious drum straight
from the Caribbean fires, with its unusual and powerful sound.
Acousteel Gang's performance at Aurillac since 2000 only went
to emphasise the fact that they stand out from the crowd. With
this 4th creation presented at the 2005 festival, "THE ACOUSTEEL
SHOWS OFF" by bringing voices to the street... A new show
with new a member: our 7 samurais are now 8 ! Joined by a singer-crier
with a megaphone, an energetic showman, they revisit and clear
away the cobwebs of some of the big disco and ska standards...
The Acousteel boys improvise as choral singers and reinvent themselves
as dancers with unbridled energy. These 8 lads (showing off...)
take the lead by turns... Voices and steel drums mingle, emerge,
provoke and are tamed É The Acousteel Gang have renovated the
facade without disturbing the foundations... Check them out!
