Didier Dumotier

After seventeen years of existence and seven albums, Hadouk trio quartet becomes this delicious Hadoukly. Founding elements of its Hadouk the hajouj Loy and duduk Didier remain at the heart of the project; with the addition of an additional musician, the overall sound is meant ironically sleeker, more acoustic. Loy Ehrlich abandoned keyboards and electronics to devote himself to gumbass (hybrid instrument between the Moroccan gumbri and bass). Didier Malherbe continues to explore the path of duduk models with different key ranges, and we discover improbable flutes pa-or Chinese, Indian bansouri, Piper Moldovan.

Mieux qu'ici-bas is francophone Canadian pop singer Isabelle Boulay's third studio album, released in September 2000. It was led by the hit single "Parle-moi" which was released about the same time. The album achieved a great success in Belgium (Wallonia) and France, where it reached the top ten and stayed on the chart for about two years.

Awarded "Best Band of the Year" at the Jazz Musical Awards 2007. Between Africa and Orient, between Jazz & World, Hadouk Trio introduces us to the land of dreams. After the success of "Shamanimal", "Now" and "Live FIP", "Utopies" is the third studio album of the trio. I can't get enough of this music! Somewhere between jazz, Afro-Cuban, ambient - it's hard to classify, but oh-so-easy on the ears. Three amazing musicians - Didier Malherbe, Loy Ehrlich, Steve Shehan - play 26 different instruments, mostly of traditional African origin. Hyptnotic rhythms and captivating original melodies.

The friendship between Steven Rodby and Dominique Fillon has naturally lead Dominique to record his album in Chicago for his latest album. Chicago is well-known for being the city of jazz where giants of jazz have recorded their album like Louis Armstrong, Lionel Hampton, Patricia Barber or Kurt Elling - just to name a few. As of today, Chicago remains the temple of jazz and is the place to go for any cosmopolitan artist like Dominique Fillon. With Steven Rodby playing the bass, he wished to be back to this team of Australian jazz with Nic Cecire on drums, to record the way they did back in the days at the famous Chicago Recording CRC, with the engineer Helik Hadar for supervising.
