Léa Castro 5tet : sortie de l'album "Roads"
<p>
</p>
<p>
"Léa Castro 5tet" was created in 2013, and after many concerts and an EP released in 2014, we are ready for a LP album.</p>
<p>
<strong>"Roads"</strong> will be released under the label <strong>"</strong><a href="http://www.bauerstudios.de/de/85/neuklang.html" target="_blank">NeuKlang</a><strong>"</strong> january the 27th (Germany, Austria, Swiss, Bénélux) and february the 3rd (France).</p>
<p>
</p>
<p>
We have pictured 10 tracks as a journey...</p>
<p>
At the crossroad between Jazz, Pop and World Music, compositions and covers are telling stories of love, departure, hopes.</p>
<p>
</p>
<p>
But let me tell you about the wonderful line-up of this album :</p>
<p>
First of all, <strong>Antoine Delprat</strong>. If this album can exist, it's mostly thanks to him. He plays the piano, violin, composes and arranges the music of this project.</p>
<p>
I'm also very lucky to have by my side : the very creative <strong>Rémi Fox (</strong>Saxophones), the very delicate <strong>Alexandre Perrot </strong>(Double-bass) and the virtuoso <strong>Ariel Tessier</strong> (Drums)</p>
<p>

We invited marvelous guests on this album : </p>
<p>
</p>
<p>
The gorgeous pianist and singer Macha Gharibian, the excellent Flutist Axel Rigaud, and a wonderful string trio with <strong>Boris Lamerand</strong>, <strong>Julia Robert</strong> and <strong>Louise Leverd</strong>.</p>
<p>
The album was recorded in the beautiful Studio Sequenza by the great sound engineer <strong>Erwan Boulay.</strong> <strong>Paul Anquez</strong>, pianist and arranger, took the reins of the artistic direction.</p>
<p>
</p>
<p>
The very talented video director Valentine Poutignat made the very nice video you have seen earlier, and a bigger is coming soon.</p>
<p>
Last but not least, the illustrator Sheina Szlamka realised the beautiful artwork.</p>

<p>
But enough of superlatives, let's talk about money !! ;-)</p>
<p>
Let's face it, recording an album such as this one is veeeery expensive. Even though we work with a label, we still have to support most of the expenses.</p>
<p>
</p>
<p>
We won in 2015 the SACEM Prize at the <strong>Crest Vocal Jazz Contest,</strong> which was a little start. We also expect a grant.</p>
<p>
</p>
<p>
We stil have those expenses to pay <strong>by the end of december </strong>:</p>
<p>
</p>
<p>
-pressing, rights of reproduction : 1500 €</p>
<p>
-Promotion, communication in France and Europe : 2500 €</p>
<p>
<strong>And this is why we need YOU !!</strong></p>
<p>
</p>
<p>
All the money we'll get beyond 4000€ will be devoted to the project as well : a <strong>"live" video, and even a video clip.</strong></p>
<p>
</p>
<p>
Your help is extremely precious to us, and even essential. Thank you in advance for your support, whatever the amount !!</p>
<p>
</p>
<p>
You have the choice between many rewards (there are lots of goodies with the beautiful artwork !), I'm sure you will find the one for you !</p>
<p>
</p>
<p>
<strong>WATCH OUT ! The time to suscribe is very short, so that you can have your gifts before Christmas ! :)</strong></p>
<p>
</p>
<p>
We are proud of this album, and look forward to present it to you !</p>
