NDOX ELECTRIQUE

From the N'Döep ceremonies, a Senegalese possession ritual

It’s wild, it’s dark and solar, it’s feminine and powerful, groovingly calling the spirits to heal the modern world with traditionnal incantations, dances & percussions, electric guitars & computers.

On stage, healing mistresses & musicians make a pact with the Spirits : it takes much more than good intentions but dancing sweat and a consistent volume to achieve salvation through music & trance.

World music in the West is most often formatted & presented as fancy & innocent postcards: the sun, the dunes, the smiles, the welcome, the attaya or the ceebu jën offered to the lovely toubabs, etc. However the music of the cruel, wild, frenzied, real and even bloodthirsty worlds betrays that neo-colonialist postcard presentation….

To cast out the demons during a n’döep ceremonie among the Lebous of Senegal, it will take music & songs of a huge volume to reach the elevation of the trance, and sweat & blood to sanctify the action and to satisfy the spirits. Rituals of incredible loudness and musical violence for a spirituality coupled with a magnificent and imperious social role during liturgies where Western griots like Meshuggah or The Birthday Party would only be considered as welleducated choir boys.

Working from years with Ifriqiyya Electrique, François R. Cambuzat and Gianna Greco (Putan Club) could not find out where the North African adorcist communities, such banga, stambeli, diwân or gnawa, came from. Of the Arab-Muslim slave route, that was certain, but from which country, from which region? The traces seemed lost. Research after research, little by little this infamous five-century-old road led them to West Africa, Senegal and the Lebou’s n’döep. For months in Mbour, Guereo, Rufisque, Yoff and Ndar (Saint-Louis), François R. Cambuzat and Gianna Greco got lost among the seas and banks of Senegal, sacrificing to spirits -most often aquatic- ndox, water, in the Wolof language.

Tëdd ak Mame Coumba Lamba ak Mame Coumba Mbang : lying between Mame Coumba Lamba and Mame Coumba Mbang, the female geniuses of a tiny part of a huge continent. And so the title of the album released by BONGO JOE RECORDS.
