	Christian Pégand Productions - Sakésho (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-07)
		And much of that magic is the biguine - the intensely syncopated, polyrhythmic music from the islands of Martinique and Guadeloupe that provides Sakésho (HUCD 3069) with its driving inspiration.
		Beginning with a biguine so sunny and festive that the audience was instantly hooked, steel pan drummer Andy Narell unveiled Sakesho, his new French Caribbean-flavored band, at Blues Alley on Wednesday night.
		The band uses the biguine's infectious rumbalike allure as a touchstone, but the group also embraces calypso beats, two-bar vamplike Afro-Cuban montunos, sophisticated jazz harmonies and extended improvisations.

		Biguine is somewhat more associated with Guadeloupe, mazouk with Martinique.

	Sakesho, self-titled (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-07)
		Sakèsho is the name of the quartet, three of whom were born in the French Caribbean, and the music they perform is born of "biguine," a form of highly syncopated, polyrhythmic music native to Martinique and Guadeloupe.
		Alino's composition "Grand Fabrice" is a complex tune, with frequent timing changes throughout its near eight-minute length; it gradually builds from the predominance of a gentle steel pan to incorporate all the considerable talents of the band.
		The intuitive may recognise the influence of Thelonious Monk or Herbie Hancock, and there is a definite jazz feel to the CD, but every so often the biguine of the French Caribbean overwhelms the apparent familiarity and sparks a new interpretation and a spicier sound.

	Heads Up: Sakesho
		Not every tune on Sakésho is a biguine; some are calypsos, some are Afro-Cuban, and some are gorgeous jazz ballads.
		But the flavor of the French Caribbean, and its rich musical traditions, washes over this enhanced CD as irresistibly (and refreshingly) as a blue wave rolling into the windward coast of some green, glowing island in the tropical sea.
		Not really a biguine, "Divini" is just a beautiful jazz ballad with yet another beautiful piano solo.

		Although French is the official language, most Martinicans also speak Creole, which grew out of the pidgin that early setters used to communicate with each other, and which also bears the traces of the many tongues spoken by African slaves.
		The biguine (or beguine), an Afro-French dance music with a bolero rhythm, originated in Martinique in the 1930s.
		With its Carnival-like rhythm and hot dance beat, zouk has become as popular in Europe as it is in the French Caribbean.

		But a few years later, the rumba was there, and as she had the gift of music from God, coming from the traditional side we arrived at the rumba we know today.
		So I inherited this, the Cuban context, the American one--rumba, biguine, waltz, and tango--and in this way, I Wendo, arrived with a diverse style in between the rumba that you find today and the dance musics around the world.
		The word was there, but when I began singing and dancing, it was really the public who appreciated the music, be it rumba; this is biguine, this is waltz.

	Les Productions d'OZ - ENGEL, Claude / Guitare biguine
		Guitare Biguine is a slightly tongue-in-cheek witty solo from the pen of the French composer Claude Engel, a composer who has collaborated with such as Charles Aznavour, Serge Gainsbourg and Astor Piazzolla.
		To bring out the true intentions of the composer and create an authentic stylistic performance, the player will need to follow very closely all the accentuation and staccato markings, otherwise this piece just falls flat.
		If these markings are observed though, the tuneful and rhythmic Guitare Biguine could be an amusing insertion into the recital programme list, perhaps as an encore.

	Martinique: Cane Fields and City Streets
		The notes plausibly suggest that Loulou Boislaville, who sings the biguine Ti Paul, took Lomax to Sainte-Marie, and the home of Raoul Grivalliers (‘Ti Raoul’), for Boislaville was the organiser of Les Ballets Folkloriques Martiniquais, the leading presenters of folkloric entertainment for tourists, and Ti Raoul had been a member, off and on, since 1952.
		Martinique is split by mountains running north-south, and this led to distinctively regional styles, which were still vigorous in 1962; Sainte-Marie, in the northeast, was an area where many freed slaves and sons of mixed race unions had owned small farms for many generations, and some families became specialists in music and dance.
		Back home, the music is much more unbuttoned and energised; the clarinettist produces a taut, shawm-like tone in order to be heard over the trombonist without balancing microphones, and the harmony as a whole is pleasingly rougher, probably because the musicians are not accommodating their tunings to a piano.

	Heads Up: Sakesho
		Much more than a modern jazz quartet, Sakésho (pronounced sah kay show), with its roots deep in the biguine – the intensely syncopated, polyrhythmic music of the French Caribbean – is inventing a completely new world groove.
		His mastery of the complex polyrhythms of the biguine is almost beyond belief.
		In live performance, his hands and feet move so fast they blur – and the sounds emerging from his drum set would make anyone think there were at least two drummers at work.

		One of those French colonies is Guadeloupe, which was the birthplace of a musical art form called biguine.
		Drawing on his experience as a percussionist-he has an undergraduate degree in musical performance-Edwin examines how the calypso-like biguine, a dance and musical genre with creole lyrics on topics ranging from love and daily relationships to current events and political commentary, became a craze in Jazz Age Paris.
		Music (especially rhythm and drums) was often related to ideas about flness, which seemed to play an important role in the French cultural imagination during the period Edwin is studying.

		He also paints himself; his canvases, which comment humorously on the relation ship between substance and signature in the valuation of art, were exhibited at Art Prague 2004.

	Classical Net Review - Moross - Frankie and Johnny, etc.
		One enjoys such a good time with the piece, that Moross's simultaneous near-encyclopedic survey of modernist devices slip by as such, and registers expressively - exactly as it should.
		Biguine (nobody knows why Moross spelled it this way) shows the 1930s U.S. fascination with Latin rhythms, from Gershwin and Cole Porter to Copland and Paul Bowles.
		Porter really never uses the beguine as anything more than a piano vamp, while Moross builds the rhythm contrapuntally, from many different melodic bits.
