Le Bal Poussière, touring with Christine Salem and ger percussionists: Périgny, near La Rochelle. Blazing sunlight. Rona Hartner walking around with her daughter, father and puppy. A small stage in a park. The young festival is run by Yasmine & Pascal
who setup the acoustic concert on the Musée d’Histoire Naturelle de la Rochelle a few years ago. Backstage we meet Minino Garai’s musicians, talking about latin music and Mingus; then spend the afternoon rehearsing under the trees, fixing details on the Salem-Moriarty songs. That evening, after a flamboyant sunset comes the rain. But the audience stays and makes the gig focused & strong.
