Banjo esperanto
- kantoj kaj banĝo -
The universal language, Invented by LL Zamenhof "doctor esperanto" in the end of 19th century, was designed as a peace-maker by helping different cultures and people with communication...
To me, as a singer and songwriter, esperanto walks in the steps of creole, which I used in my previous bands "la planche à laver" and "Banjo Club". I can feel a kind of link between esperanto and banjo, the simplest instrument you can think of, and yet capable of so many subtleties and versatility...
"Banjo Esperanto" on stage, two options :
* full concert, trio or quartet. 75 minute show with originals in esperanto, along covers in creole, french, english, spanish... The show could be presented in french, english, or even esperanto, according of the type of audience. This show includes some very basic info on esperanto language, and general ideas on song lyrics, but there music is the thing ! A dynamic and warm show for all audiences !
* other option: conference-concert "the universal language in music". For more "cultural" audiences, I will concentrate on esperanto, its story, with initiation keys on on the language, illustrated by a few songs with the banjo.
Duration one hour, solo or duo.
