Arsene Duevi
cantante, direttore di coro, chitarrista e bassista
Un vero e proprio Shaman/Showman dal Togo con 15 anni di vita in Italia seduce con i suoni che mescolano Africa e Europa, Jazz e World Music, cantautorato e improvvisazione.
In solo chitarra e voce con una loop station è capace di aprire orizzonti, stupire e emozionare con i colori caldi della sua voce nera
Con La mia Africa (2010) ci ha cantato i colori di un continente impossibile da lasciare alle spalle, con Haya (2016) ha celebrato la vita e la speranza di chi migra.
Ora, tutto solo, da vero sciamano, ci conduce in un percorso alla radice del suono
Main concerts: i Suoni delle Dolomiti, Blue Note Milano, Parco della Musica Roma, Teatro Comunale di Vicenza, Musicastrada, Scheggiacustica
Live show at Rai Radio Uno, Radio Tre, Radio Popolare
HAYA | REJOICE
Arsene Duevi guitar, bass, voice & loop station
The new work by Arsène Duevi, singer, multi-instrumentalist and musical shaman, who seduces with his sounds that mix Africa and Europe, Jazz and World Music, songwriting and improvisation
Arsene Duevi bass and guitar player, singer, choir director, composer and ethnomusicologist, arrived in Italy in 2002 and he is now an Italian citizen.
Continuing Arsene’s reputation for being a music shaman, in his second cd, Haya (Musicamorfosi 2016) premiered in Rome at Parco della Musica and in Milan at Blue Note, he sings in Ewè, Italian and French. Songs by Fabrizio De André and Boris Vian are performed in a peculiar afro style next to his original compositions, performed in a peculiar afro style, and his own original compositions which all share the same message coming directly from the Southern hemisphere: choose life, don’t let yourself be used by money, never give up, hug one another, stand up, sing and make your voice stand out in a sea of other voices. Haya in Ewe means rejoice and it is Arsene’s new soul-moving hymn celebrating life.
With “My Africa” (La Mia Africa) (2010), Arsene sang to us of the colors of a land impossible to leave behind, with Haya (2016) he celebrated the life and the hope of those who emigrate.
In his “solo concert” all alone, as a true shaman, he takes us on a journey to the root of sound.
