ABDOULAYE NDERGUET & LE BEX'TET

When it comes to music, “let’s do it our way or our worst.” It was in this spirit that the project was born in N’Djamena at the end of 2019. On the one hand, there’s singer Abdoulaye Nderguet, dubbed the “nightingale of Chad” because of the way his voice modulates from low to high notes. Sometimes “typical of the Sahel” and akin to the blues, his vocal technique rubs shoulders with that of rock singers or West African griots. On the other is French organist and pianist Emmanuel Bex, a multi award-winning figure on the jazz scene (Django Reinhardt Prize, Victoire du jazz, Grand Prix de l’Académie Charles Cros…).

Their musical conversation leads them towards a common horizon, the expression of a humanity they call “the soul of the blues”. In this language of notes and incantations that they practice and know how to make heard, they take roads that mock the chapels, proposing new directions. They expand the world.
