”The Maddy Orsinet Quartet pays tribute to one of the greatest voices of the Caribbean: Madame Jocelyne Béroard
The Maddy Orsinet Quartet offers you a journey through the most beautiful melodies of the greatest voices of the Caribbean. Interpretations conceived in an intimate atmosphere for a quartet of voice, piano, bass, and percussion.
The arrangement choices highlight unique and timeless melodies, which take the viewer on a journey to the heart of the Caribbean islands: biguine, zouk, ballad, waltz, all with swaying accents and bathed in sunshine.
We discover or rediscover the warm and melodious voice of Maddy Orsinet whose experiences through Jazz, Gospel, traditional and modern music of Martinique are put at the service of this refined musical proposition where vocal melody takes center stage.
Paco Man'Alma's piano arrangements are full of swing and deeply musical, perfectly showcasing the vocals. We hear the full harmonic richness of Caribbean music, from the brass instruments to the backing vocals he sings for Maddy or plays on the piano.
Benjamin Barbe provides the "groove" element to this group thanks to his precise, highly musical playing, deeply rooted in the Caribbean. Guillermo Rojas is the heartbeat of this group; his percussion playing is sometimes melodic and ethereal, sometimes firmly rooted in the traditions of the Caribbean islands.
