Nola Is Calling
Sewing Machine Effects
It will be a triangular meeting between France, Benin and the United States with 3 french artists (Celine Frezza - composer/ artistic director, Sound engineer ; David Walters - producer/ composer/ singer and Olivier Koundouno cellist), 3 artists born in New Orleans (Big chief Jermaine and Big chief Romeo), and Bona Didolanvi, a percussionist from Cotonou (Benin). The documentary directed by Arno Bitschy will be an outsider look, fucusing on the roots and traditions of the city following two characters, Big chief Jermaine, representing the mardi-gras indians, and Hasizzle, emerging figure of the bounce music, a new electronic musical current that collides various codes and genres, that could only be born in NOLA.
