Exclusive discount for Prime members. Sample this album Artist (Sample). My introduction to Pierre was with this album and Solilai. I found both to be refreshingly different, both from other music in my collection, and from each other. I don't particularly care for track 7. No particular reason, I just don't.
While there were still laid-back, impressionistic and light songs, Bensusan played with more intensity, stretching out on guitar and going beyond restating the melody and adding teasing, nimble voicings. On "Presqu'ile," "Les Voiles Catalanes" and "Montsegur," his riffs had bite and edge. Where most of his other albums were almost totally atmospheric, with rhythm either implied or almost missing, this CD had a pronounced Afro-Latin and African tinge at times, due to percussionist Denis Benharrosh
