Stranded Horse is Yann Tambour's classical French/Malian folk duo with Boubacar Cissokho the Malian Kora master accompanying his acoustic guitar The Warmth You Deserve continues the duo's work together since they originally met in Dakar. This album was recorded analogue to tape at Studio Chaudelande Cherbourg by Emmanuel Laffeach.
The album opens with the title song The Warmth You Deserve Poetically recited vocals woven between the strings, transporting you into the Kora inflected classical strings, detailing a world that fell apart, within the central tonal form's calming effects.
A Sigh By Your Side Seems Hollow fingered tremulous guitar, dripped Kora infused with the love and affection being craved, an ancient folk myth re-enacted.
Right No Wrongs With No Arms tries to correct things with without arms, a central message of peace in these most fraught of times, find ways to talk things out, strings fluctuate, weave between each other, harp like structures of sound soothing, calming things down, while still feeling like a storm blowing over.
From Down Below dead of night rumbling, coming From Down Below, ghosts are echoing through twisted fluttering arpeggios, float within this mesmeric trance Nick Drake like imagery emerges.
Long Is The Line they both follow wherever it may take them all the way down to the shore, biblical fights may be coming, ancient trails laced within centuries old musical figures relating back wisdom of how to weather the coming storm.
Le Feu Qui Nous Rend Las querulous slow fluctuations, within this mythic strung world, where the sound of strings carries for miles over the desert to the forests of the Contenin peninsula and Cherbourg.
So High they fly, rising high through the various levels, strings carry them up, high above the forests, they get as high as they possibly can.
Blushing Rivers Overflow water flows through the rippling waves of strings, Yann hums alongside the ebbing strings.
Sous Pied D'Camelias is a cover of Maxim Laope's Creole chanson shrouded in harp like crescendos of Kora, strolling effortlessly beside the flowerbeds on Reunion Island in the late 70's, whence this beautiful classic comes from.
