Music:Member Since: 4/4/2006Band Website: grandbaton.com Band Members: Live Show Videos, June 2007: Mbutu (also known as Jean-Christophe Maillard): guitar & lead vocal Pascal Rey: Drums Oilvier Juste: Ka Drum Arnaud Dolmen: Ka Drum Philippe Makaïa: Ka Drum (on CD) Jean-Claude Kebaïli: Bass Gilles Olivesi: Sound Design guest: Etienne Mbappé: Bass Influences: Sunshine, Sea, Sand, Mango Trees... Sounds Like: Ethno-Rock, High Voltage Goat Skin Drums with Noisy and Sophisticated Post-Slavery Rebellion "Le Grand Baton" is the latest project of french, native Caribbean, guitarist composer and singer Jean-Christophe Maillard (aka Mbutu), well known for his work in Gwoka music (traditionnal drum music from Guadeloupe); it is a powerful fusion of this heritage with rock music. For the first time, electric overdriven guitars are combined with the mighty goat skin "slave drum" known as "Ka" for a steady ethno-rooted-pop rock with unusual rythms and melodic lines. Some would easily think of albums like Sepultura's "Roots" but, to describe his music, Jean-Christophe would refer to the "primitive-sophisticated" style of Jean-Michel Basquiat's painting. Songs are written mostly in Creole language. Type of Label: Indie |
