The Fil Rouge project rises from the intense understanding between two women, the singer/songwriter and the pianist/composer, who translate into words and music their melancholic mood, at the same time full of energy and dynamic.
Their music touches the most diverse sounds, timbres and colors: Mediterranean melodies with Arabic and Maghreb echoes.
Latin rhythms of bossa nova and tango permeated with underground influences tied to funk and hip-hop not least blues and swing.
“The album L’Inconnue is an elegant eulogy of musical and poetic life simplicity:
it draws pieces of life enlightened by remembers, affections and love silences.”
Fulvio Paloscia, LA REPUBBLICA
“Amazing urban world music that gravitates toward soundtracks sophisticated film.
A tribute to french music, to chameleonic sensibility of italian jazz, to music experiments of group like Les Negresses Vertes and singers like Zaz.”
Giovanni Ballerini, LA NAZIONE
