Cocomi, Niu Niu Mélancolie

Au Groenland, l'écrivain a suivi une poignée de chasseurs d'ours polaires qui traquent, à raison de virées à traîneaux de près de douze heures, cet animal emblématique. Il tente de comprendre la perpétuation de cette tradition ancestrale dans un monde en mutation accélérée. Le récit de ce cache-cache entre l'ours et les humains montre à quel point leurs destins sont liés.

While the sound of early instruments is reminiscent of chiaroscuro Baroque splendours, the bandoneon calls up the urban world of the tango. Combining the two, as Daniel Brel (b. 1950) does in his works, blurs these distinctions, allowing the instruments to speak with their own voices. The result is an extremely personal type of music that is both poetic and poignant, born of the moving encounter between Daniel Brel and Vincent Dumestre and his musicians.

After their Paris trip in spring 2013, where they shot the music video for “Days Go By” with Coralie Clement, they decided to present these new Pop Sensations from France on Bonheur & Mélancolie. This exclusive collection brings you stars like Benjamin Biolay or Sébastien Tellier but also presents new talents like Éléphant, Rose, Berry, Loane or Vincent Delerm…
