LéNo

A fascinating, no-holds-barred, all-out record. A "whole" record: turn it up to full volume, listen to the thundering sounds, the heady strings, the drums and cymbals that gush, clatter, heckle and crackle.

You'd think the two of them would be missing something. But there's nothing missing. Carried away by the rhythms and the dance, enchanted by the ostinatos of the piano, the cascades and leaps into the void, the spirit abandons itself. [...] A world where two musicians sound like five or ten, and where history, convictions, imagination and dreams spring up in every interstice. Getting the best out of his Jazzette, the smallest kind of drum kit, Dolmen transcends heritage, expands its scope of expression tenfold and displays a wild inventiveness, giving Leonardo's every line new depths. Arnaud Dolmen and Leonardo Montana draw their strength from their Creole roots, a continent of islands that stretches as far as the shores of Louisiana and Brazil, and follow in the footsteps of their predecessors to create an enchanting, modern and timeless album. One voice, one path. LéNo.
