Moussu T e lei Jovents consists of the founder of Massilia Sound System together with its guitarist and Brazilian percussionist Jamilson. The group takes its inspiration from Marseilles in the thirties, a veritable musical melting pot, where Provençal songs could be heard alongside local operettas by Vincent Scotto or the Black jazz and blues bursting onto the scene at the time (with music from the West Indies and Brazil to boot). That eventful decade provides the background for the group's new, up-to-the minute songs and sea shanties that reek of the briny air, shipyard cranes and rocky inlets. A new repertoire to match the coastline of this part of the world, from Marseilles to La Ciotat, a true blend of old and new, local and universal, full of nostalgia and foot-tapping rhythms! The DVD side of this DualDisc release features two hours of images for a surprising journey through the world of Moussu T e lei Jovents. Clips, extracts from live concerts and shorts produced by the best film-makers in Occitania.
