Mama Rosin : Brule Lentement (CH,2009)***°
More varied, and with more ‘subtle loudness’ than the previous album (the title in English means “Shout quietly”), this band combines great and powerfull old Cajun with poor man’s blues, boogie woogie, some twang guitars, honky tonk zydeco, and an occasional African ! touch (track 3) or who knows a Swiss folk dance flavour, and this with roots spoken word and vocals, with some distortion. This is stage sweat energetic music, as if with a folk element, but also with a punkish nature, smoothed by different arrangements, made danceable by the accordion (or melodeon). At some stage, like a street stage concert, a few songs sounded a bit similar but then, quickly different variety appeared and appealed for new energy. Mama Rosin is original with traditions! The label added descriptive terms like cajun'roll or power cajun, they are of course also more than that.
