Video of the Day: Monsieur MÂLÂ premieres new jazz-world-fusion single 'KOSS 5'
Monday, July 19, 2021
Hailing from Paris, Monsieur MÂLÂ is a combo made of five sought-after musicians with their own personal identity, drawing together elements of jazz, rock, funk, electronic and world music
Their new single 'KOSS 5' follows 'Lunitudine' and 'Cor Anglais in E Minor (Op. 3)', and shows off the band's trademark genre-bending sound that’s sprinkled with some Makossa rhythms in an emotional tribute to the late great saxophonist Manu Dibango, with whom some of the band members were lucky enough to share the stage with.
The five musicians update the fusion tradition for the 21st century, with the emphasis on collective endeavour rather than individual prowess. On their debut album planned for next year, the music is carefully crafted, combining subtlety and colour with the band’s trademark rhythmic drive and irresistible groove power.
"Our music is made to make people let go, put aside every complex and free the flow of everyone’s imagination. It induces dance and even trance, but also hopeful nostalgic melodies."
