Product Description
Un incontournable québécois
À cause de son parcours, qui l’a mené de Pologne en Israël, au Canada anglais, puis au Québec, Paul Kunigis avait en main tout le bagage culturel nécessaire pour pondre une œuvre unique. Encore fallait-il qu’il le fasse, ce qu’il réussit superbement ici, sous la bannière de Jeszcze Raz. Une world inédite, festive et sensible où le blues a droit de cité.

"Balagane" signifie bordel en hébreu et en polonais. On ne pouvait rêver meilleur titre pour ce deuxième album de la formation montréalaise Jeszcze Raz. Avec Balagane, le groupe fondé par le pianiste d’origine polonaise Paul Kunigis nous offre un métissage d’influences orientales et occidentales. C’est Yves Desrosiers, à qui l’on doit également la réalisation de l’incontournable La Llorona, de Lhasa de Sela, qui préside à ce voyage mélancolique aux accents tziganes. Au premier plan, la voix lancinante de Kunigis raconte en quatre langues des histoires d’exil ("Tibériade"), de fraternité ("Bamidbar") et d’amour ("Yahayouni"), enveloppées de percussions, d’accordéon, de violon, de trombone, de piccolo, etc.
Si le premier opus de Jeszcze Raz, Pamietam, était passé plutôt inaperçu, Balagane est de ces disques qui semblent se bonifier à chaque nouvelle écoute. Et l’on se réjouit qu’il vienne creuser au Québec le sillon encore frais des musiques du monde. --Pascale Millot

Berlin Wall meets Wailing Wall,
This review is from: Balagane (Frn) (Audio CD)
This is an incredible CD. Bandleader and songwriter Paul Kunigis sings in Hebrew, Arabic, Polish and French -- and throws all these cultures into his musical bouillabaise. The result incorporates the sounds of Klezmer, Arabic music, the Central European pub and the Paris cafe -- a kind of Wandering-Jewish blues that expresses the entire history of the 20th Century, from the point of view of a man whose identity slips casually between Polish, Israeli and Canadian from song to song. This is the first CD I've found that matches the particular kind of brilliance of the Klezmatics and the Czech merry pranksters Jablkon.Balagane is produced by the brilliant Yves Desrosiers, who's also responsible for another incredible Montreal-based world music recording -- Lhasa's La Llorona.
