MANDEYO

Mandeyo : Aux frontières de l'électro et de la tradition berbère.
Mandeyo c'est avant tout la réunion de musiciens qui aiment les musiques sans frontières. Un groupe qui expérimente, mélange les sons et empreinte à tous les styles pour créer son propre univers.



Le groupe a vu le jour en 2003 à l'initiative de Rachid Sefrioui, guitariste et luthiste franco-marocain.
« J'avais rencontré Fred (batterie) et Laurent (platines) sur divers projets musicaux. Jai apprécié leur ouverture sur toutes les musiques sans préjugé de style. J'avais l'idée de mélanger le oud aux platines, les harmonies jazz aux percussions africaines. Sans se limiter à un style défini, laisser le feeling nous guider. Rachid
