Drums In Da House

© 2008 F.A.Y.C Percussion (3775000025670)

The "music halfcasting" is, for FAYC, a means to present the wealth of this "drums science", integrating traditional percussion into new musical styles like jazz, electro-house.

notes

Franck Al Yamine Cohendet was born in a musicians' and music teachers family. His father was a drummer like his uncle, and his godfather was Symphonic Orchestra Director and clarinetist. He started to read music and play clarinet, from 7 years old to 13, and at 17 he received a gift : old bongos, wich initiated his way to the traditional drums sphere. He followed musical studies, notably at the Chambéry Conservatoire (F-73), to work on marimba and vibes with Frédéric Jeannin (Les Percussions Claviers de Lyon.F-69), and learned traditional drums with masters from different cultures, including Daniel Maldonado (Puerto-Rico) and Orlando Poleo (Venezuela).

His own research brings him early to be interested with the sound vibration and the rythms frequencies, as well as the ways they are expressed through drums, since ancient times, all over the world. Ethnomusicology is a part of his teaching, and he steps in the musicotherapists formation in Geneva for more than 10 years. Drummer since 1984, singer and author since 1993, and composer since 2006 ; he works as much as part of traditional music from African, afro-Cuban and Arabic cultures, than in Jazz and actual musics (House music-Electro-Rap-Rn'B) register. He aims at broadcasting the "drum tradition", wich has ever been inparted orally, by cultures that knew how to protect and keep alive the elders knowledge, while developing it, without using our occidental music-writing mode (or lately).

The "music halfcasting" is, for FAYC, a means to present the wealth of this "drums science", integrating traditional percussion into new musical styles like Jazz, Electro-House music (cf "DRUMS IN DA HOUSE", his 1° LP, and "ETHNO DRUMS SAMPLES #1" his 1° loops CD for Dj's mix) ; incorporating a new web-radio team, created by a DJs crew (Radioloopin.com), and stepping in live performance acts with Djs (FAYC Drums & Mix) in the framework of night-clubbing. In 1993, he played for the first part of Marie Miryam and Hugues Auffrey shows, and in 2000 for Manu Dibango's concert.

Since 2007, Franck Al Yamine Cohendet (FAYCpercussion© Production) is Editor
and Producer of his works, with the production of this first album DRUMS IN DA
HOUSE.
Since 2008, is member of the INTERNATIONAL SALSA MAGAZINE editorial staff, a
monthly magazine of around 150 pages, specialized in Salsa world's current events, in
english and spanish, delivered on the web after subscription.
Actually, FAYC suggests shows and concerts, with severals groups : ASSIA & AL
YAMINE (oriental belly dance & drum), La Orquesta SABOR PICANTE (latin jazz & salsa),
AL BAHJA (traditional & folk Eastern & Maghreb music), CUBANA BOP (latin jazz) ; and

DISCOGRAPHY :
His first LP DRUMS IN DA HOUSE, in a house-electro style mixed with traditional
drumming, is dealed on the web by partners websites of Z_PRODUCTION.org, the
dealer Label wich signed him.
The following issue (2° LP) is on work, for drumming and musical compositions more
traditional than the first one, like a return to roots.
FAYC is looking for Music Label which would like sign, for ETHNO DRUMS SAMPLES 1
(drums loops for Djing). Few issues are planned for this serie ETHNO DRUMS
SAMPLES, because traditional drumming is a practically inexhaustible subject, so
wealthy and evolving perpetually.
