CD: Mon Voyage

With Mon Voyage Lydie Auvray presents her 23rd album. Actually, the "Grande Dame of the Accordion" has been on her very personal musical voyage of discovery for 42 years, but this time she is once again courageously treading completely new paths. The 12 pieces on this CD are particularly rich in different musical styles, images and dynamics

"I dared to take even more side paths, to move more along new routes," she herself describes the genesis. Musette mixes with the lively sounds of the Caribbean, a tango, full of surprising changes of mood and tempo with jazz, in "Madinina" even Spanish rhythms can be heard and with "Couscous à la Véro" she proves that the driving sound of her accordion also fits wonderfully in the Orient. In addition, two new songs enrich the album with her warm voice - soulful, personal, touching

But also completely new sounds, which cannot be clearly located geographically, can be found on the CD - more like film music, which takes the listener on a journey through unknown worlds. Lydie Auvray's joie de vivre and musical curiosity are evident in every piece, and despite her great desire to venture into new territory, she always remains true to herself. This is how Lydie Auvray's Mon Voyage becomes a Bon Voyage for the listener.
