L'arbre à palabres by Samy Ben Rabah published on 2016-08-15T12:46:44Z Rough piece on the mandolin for this afternoon. You can even hear some sloppy fingering - proof that it's not generated by a computer (although...). In French, "arbre à palabres" refers to the tree under which people gather to discuss, debate or listen to the village sage. It's a tradition usually associated with some African cultures but you've probably seen it somewhere else - people talking under the shade of a tree. Genre acoustic mandolin Comment by The Lost Lô L’intro est vraiment très pure et belle… 2022-02-18T22:59:05Z Comment by The Lost Lô Ce truc est habité. De l’âme et de l’humanité. C’est une belle impro. Je pensais l’avoir déjà écoutée et commentée. Ben non… plus toute ma tête en ce moment. En tout cas, j’adore! 2022-02-18T22:53:32Z Comment by TIJ i love the music that you make. all of it. i'm a real fan. 2020-09-28T22:07:17Z Comment by Admiral Krank and His Mighty Band of Spacemen Beautiful composition 2020-09-28T20:46:38Z Comment by Grooveclowd Nice 2020-04-26T09:12:04Z Comment by Dan X2 Sounding good 2017-09-18T21:26:32Z Comment by J.K.
