Mo Jodi, Delgres, CD

He raw, muscular sound of the Paris-based roots trio Delgres connects the African history and culture of the French Caribbean, the Mississippi blues and New Orleans. Vividly captured in Mo Jodi (I'll Die Today), the band's debut release, the music carries the richness, emotion and visceral power of a deeply personal story - and with good reason. "It's as if everything I've done with my life until now led me to this moment," says singer, songwriter and guitarist Pascal Danaë, the founder and leader of Delgres.
