Paris – Dakar
26,000 km across Africa by motocross
My desire to go to the source of music and its rhythms, but above all my thirst for adventure, lead me to travel in one year, some 26,000 km across North and West Africa. After buying my Yamaha motocross in Montreal, I ship it by boat to Marseille (France).
From Paris, I head for the south of France and by the splendid Mediterranean coast of Spain, I reach the legendary Strait of Gibraltar. From Algeciras to Tangier, the ferry brings me quietly with my motorbike, to another unknown continent.This African trip begins in Morocco, and will become the most extraordinary adventure of my life.
It is therefore with great pleasure that I share with you in a few images that I have captured at random, this crucial adventure of my life that I have entitled: The African Adventure. Follow me!

Storytelling of the Tribes album
During my African cultural immersion, I realized that the tribe is the most powerful biological organization of the human animal. Our ancestors, the hunter-gatherer tribes were almost completely extinct from the earth, but they still survive in the modern world, in the form of families, nations and more recently on social media. Tales and stories have over time become narratives that the media constantly exploit, starting with Hollywood. Narratives are at the center of our existence, our imagination and our current creations. They have become our collective myths. Although we are not always aware of it.
The creation of an artist is not only the expression of his technique, knowledge, imagination or talent, but essentially of his experience among the tribe which supports him and shapes his thoughts since his birth.
Imbued with these ideas, the Storytelling of the Tribes album was born. The first part features the following compositions: Water Jammin (original long version), Water Jammin (short radio version), My First Night in Tamanrasset and At the Edge of the World, excerpts from which you can listen to below. The second and third bundles are in production and will be available soon. I strongly recommend that you subscribe to our Newsletter (click the blue button below on your right) in order to join our tribe and stay informed.

My First Night in Tamanrasset: At the center of a camel caravan trade network of the Sahara, Tamanrasset is the last oasis of supply before the traveler continues his way further south, towards the solitude of the desert. The thin road then sinks into the sand until disappearing completely to the borders of Niger. In the vicinity of the Assekrem plateaux with its lunar landscapes, Tamanrasset is like no other place on earth. I offer you the musical impressions of my first contact with this mythical place…
At the Edge of the World: A NewWorld Afro funk infectious groove. How far does the road go? Does it have an end? The traveller who borrows a new path never knows. But here’s his real pleasure: the discovery of the unknown…
Nations Freedom Call: A brand new release about earth wide cycles of chaos and changes in old social structures. A miror to planetary and sun changes. An invitation for humanity to focus and dance together, when chaos and insanity from the rulers spread on the Land and through the Tribes…
