Many of these songs are known and loved worldwide: Pata Pata, Soul Makossa, Yeke Yeke, Mario, Shakara, Jive Soweto. Others will be revelations to even the most dedicated record collectors.

"J'ai utilisé pour cet album des musiques que j'ai composées pour l'image, essentiellement des documentaires ; je les ai retravaillées en développant les rythmiques, en ajoutant des voix ou des parties solistes, parfois en les ré enregistrant entièrement. Ce sont des chants qui m'habitent depuis toujours que l'on retrouve plus ou moins présents dans tous mes projets. Voici un récit fait de mélodies à la Frontière des styles, des cultures, des territoires ; des images musicales vagabondes qui racontent mon histoire." Louis Sclavis
