Meï Teï Shô

Meï Teï Shô, wassat ? " This Japanese term describes the state of trance following an over consumption of rice. It is also what we wanted to do with our music : progressive and repetitive. " repeat without without brooding over, progress without erasing. Permanence in movement, immanent change... Such is the basic formula, elaborated for six years, beyond pre-established formats. These 5 musicians tour and get the audience upside down, embezzle all kinds of clichés and commonplaces. "We primarily want to make music and don't care about labels and categories. " Difficult indeed to categorize Meï Teï Shô's music since their eclectic effusions swarm with good vibes without limits with as only guide the wish to create, to give their visions of musical world as decompartmentalized as open to all possibilities, even the most unlikely. Some sort of free jazz with funk between the lines, discreet electronic music, but also a solid dub foundation, afro-rock as a percussion force or whispered hip-hop, hardcore for energy, echoes of m'balax, fragments of folk, rough soul... No matter the material as long as euphoria arrives. Come, enter the trance....
