Malavoi – 1982

🎺🎷🥁🎻🎹🎤🌴 Review of standards on this Malavoi album released in 1982 by GD Productions. On this double album, the extended versions take pride of place on four sides, between waltz, quadrille, biguine and Latin groove. Ralph Thamar performs the classics Gram E Gram, La Filo and Amelia, with arrangements by Emmanuel Césaire and Paulo Rosine. Behind him is the rhythm section of Denis Dantin, Nicol Bernard and Jean-Marc Albicy, while the strings of José Lagier, Christian de Negri, Jean-Paul Soïme and Philippe Porry twirl on the brilliant Pasillo Mat’nik waltz. An emblematic album from the Martinique band!
