OOOTOKO - OOOTOKO (2024) [Official Digital Download 24/48]

Raw, authentic chamber pop with refined arrangements, where rock, jazz, world and classical music intertwine.

Created by violinist Damien Chierici, OOOTOKO is a group of 19 musicians offering raw, authentic chamber pop. Unique among current productions, OOOTOKO's music is a return to the very essence of the genre: the pleasure of simply playing and singing together.

OOOTOKO is an original musical epic that goes from the intimate to the grandiose, crossing a number of references, from François de Roubaix to Bonobo to Snarky Puppy, and taking the audience into a rare cinematic universe on shores that are often melancholy and dreamlike, sometimes joyful.

Pilot Damien Chierici unfurls a score of refined arrangements, where rock, jazz, world and classical music intertwine, performed by particularly inspired musicians he has met along the way, who have become accomplices and are clearly delighted to be on board. The voices of Dan San and Ireland's Liam O'Maonlai (Hothouse Flowers) complete the crew, adding the folk touch that makes this beautiful, unclassifiable music even more unique.
