Les Yeux Noirs - Balamouk
Review by Heather Mae (Soldonia) Reyes
Balamouk, the ninth studio album by Les Yeux Noirs, is a vibrant and eclectic blend of traditional Eastern European music and contemporary styles. The band, led by brothers Eric and Olivier Slabiak, infuses their signature sound with elements of rock, jazz, and even reggae, creating a unique and dynamic listening experience.
The album opens with the energetic and catchy "Tchavolo Swing," featuring lively violin and guitar solos that set the tone for the rest of the record. Tracks like "Odessa Bulgar" and "Balamouk" showcase the band's mastery of traditional klezmer and gypsy music, while "La Valse à Django" pays tribute to the legendary jazz guitarist Django Reinhardt.
Les Yeux Noirs also experiments with different genres, such as the reggae-infused "Babylon" and the hauntingly beautiful "La Nuit," which features guest vocals by French singer Zaz. The album closes with the haunting instrumental "Kolomeyke," leaving the listener with a sense of wonder and awe.
