Lopa Kothari
Lopa Kothari presents a selection of music from around the world, including a session of Cajun music from Swiss trio Mama Rosin.
In session tonight, the Swiss trio Mama Rosin who have brought the original sound of Louisana to the banks of Lake Geneva. Lopa Kothari introduces the group and plays sounds from around the world. Producer James Parkin.
Mama Rosin, the Swiss Cajun/Zydeco subversives play electric melodeon (Cyril Yeterian), guitar/banjo/rub-board (Robin Girod) and drums (Xavier "G脙漏rard Guilain" Bray). They live and love the Cajun/Zydeco music style, whose roots go way back to the 18th century. The adventures of Mama Rosin began with a demo-tape recorded and mixed by Pierre Omer (ex-The Dead Brothers). Swamped by this intriguing sound "Reverend Beat-Man" decided to sign the trio to his cult Voodoo Rhythm Records label. The resulting debut album, Tu As Perdu Ton Chemin came out in September 2008. The second album, Brule Lentement, followed in March 2009 (both on Voodoo Rhythm Records). Now, these two albums are released in the UK in March 2010, (on Voodoo Rhythm Records / distributed by Cargo UK).
