Sophye Soliveau (harp)
Carine Oumouchi (chorus)
Ari Kali (chorus)
Soula Aime (chorus)
Andy Berald-Catelo (drums)
Eric Segall (bass)New Soul is first and foremost a challenge: the challenge Sophye Soliveau set herself to sing soul music accompanied by a harp. Together with the gospel and jazz voices of Carine Oumouchi, Ari Kali and Soula Aime, and Eric Segall and Andy Berald-Catelo on bass and drums, she creates a timeless atmosphere. Her music is mystical and effervescent, soothing everyone’s ears and hearts.
Sophye Soliveau is a singer and harpist who has been nourished by Afro-American music since childhood. She is a member of Seksion Maloya (traditional music from Reunion Island) and Àbájade (Afro-jazz band with Cuban influences) on lead vocals, choirs and percussion. Passionate about vocal harmonies, from Francis Poulenc to Bobby Mc Ferrin, she also leads several vocal ensembles (Maré Mananga, Oshun and l’Atelier chorale) in which improvisation and the link with Afro-descendant music, particularly R&B and soul, play a central role.
