" Without distinction of class, Das Kapital aligns works composed by Maurice Ravel ("Pavane for a dead infant "), Erik Satie (" Gymnopédie "), Jean-Baptiste Lully (" March for the ceremony of the Turks and Georges Bizet ("L'Arlesienne") with compositions that some would describe as minor. The country should be proud to be home to people wearing road safety jackets and high-level administrators at the same time. As in the country of jazz, everyone should be able to choose to belong to France. If we are proud of France, it's not because it's the best country in the world, but because that's where we live, that's where we have chosen to live, and that's a country and a people whom we wish a happy future. Long live France really means: long live the multitude, long live the community of individuals. On the contrary: everyone must be able to find a place in France and in the world, even those with intolerable habits. Not in the intolerant and exclusive sense these two words are often associated with. With Vive la France, we want to be unify and be consensual. The willingness of the three musicians to discover, divert and reinvent the pieces they play always makes you feel like they are playing their own music. The sound of Das Kapital is always palpable, even under the most surprising stylistic disguises. The jazz of this trio draws as much from the ideas of Ravel, Lully, Pancras-Royer and Satie as Claude Francois, Johnny, Plastic Bertrand not to mention the great singers-storytellers: Brel, Brassens and Barbara.ĭas Kapital has an confirmed and recognizable musical language, 16 years of touring and making projects and records has left a sense of each other that ressembles telepathy more than anything else. France is also a country of great composers, even if we have the unfortunate habit of dividing high culture and popular culture.
A tribute dedicated to the history of France and its cultural grandeur.įrance is a country of poets, of literature, a country of lovers of words, a country of explorers in the realms of imagination.
VIVE LA FRANCE is a tribute by three European musicians to their country of residence. Lennon replied: "The same as English wine." "John Lennon, what do you think about French pop music?"
