Métissages (Crossings) grew out of the artistic encounter between Paul Mindy and Eric Sammut. It was only natural that these two musicians, both passionate about teaching, would want to create a bridge between classes of traditional and classical percussion. The pieces presented in this album are of varied styles, covering a large range of music: classical, traditional, original. Each one possesses indisputable pedagogical value, as much from a technical or interpretative point of view, as for providing stylistic knowledge.

The percussionist and singer Paul Mindy, teacher at the National Regional Conservatory in Aubervilliers-la-Courneuve, is a specialist in Brazilian music. He gives masterclasses the world over. He received the Georges Brassens Prize and has sung at the Olympia in Paris. ln addition, he was awarded the Assemblée Nationale Prize in 2001, and in 2002 received the Académie Charles Cros Prize. His talent as a percussionist has lead him to play with renowned musicians such as Richard Galliano, Roland Dyens, Carlo Rizzo, Frank Tortillier. Dave Samuel, Baden Powell... He also plays with the group "Quai n° 5", the Peace Orchestra, and Flavio Esposito. Recent recordings include solo albums (Le monde à l'envers, Mosaïque), a trio with J.C. Hoarau and A. Vérité (Notre Brésil), an album with singer Fabienne Magnant (Canto instrumental), a DVD "method for African, Brazilian, and Cuban percussion" (internet site www.drumvision.fr.st). Paul Mindy has also written popular CD-books for the editor Didier Jeunesse: A l'ombre de l'olivier, Comptines du Baobab, Papagaio, Comptines créoles... ln 2006, he performed in the Percpan festival in Salvador de Bahia.

Eric Sammut began his musical education by studying the piano, and later attended percussion classes with Michel Ventula at the National Regional Conservatory (NRC) in Toulouse. ln 1989, the same year that he received a unanimous first prize from the National Conservatory in Lyon as a student of François Dupin and Georges van Gucht, Eric Sammut became principal percussionist with the Orchestre de l'Opéra National de Lyon. ln 1995, after receiving the First International Marimba Prize of New York, he undertook a recital tour and gave masterclasses in the United States, Europe and Japan. He began teaching marimba at the NRC in Toulouse in 1997, as well as at the NRC in Paris and the Royal Academy of London, in addition to being principal with the Orchestre de Paris. After participating in numerous CD and video productions with the Orchestre du Capitole de Toulouse, Orchestre National de Bordeaux-Aquitaine, Orchestre National de Lyon and Orchestre de Paris, in 2005, he produced "Four- Mallet Ballet", an album for solo marimba. A new CD recording is planned for 2006 with the musicians Philippe Berrod, Eric Echampard and David Patrois.


Nobody knows the Trouble I've seen
Classical perc: to be performed in a joyous gospel style in response to the African spirit of the traditional percussion. Traditional perc: co-ordination practice on the kenkeni, sangbang and doumdoum - each musician should practice each of the parts separately. The ensemble work on kenkeni, sang bang and doumdoum enhances polyrhythmic perception.

Prelude in E minor
Classical perc: here the rubato feeling, typical to romantic music, has been replaced by a swinging bossa nova style - the melody should remain light and easy. Traditional perc: bossa nova rhythm - play piano the technique of each instrument provides an initiation to batucada, music that unites traditional Brazilian carnival instruments. Antonio Carlos Jobim once said that Chopin composed the original bossa when he wrote this prelude.

Guantanamera
Classical perc: the marimba should be interpreted freely, almost out of rhythm - the vibraphone light and colourful - the bass marimba always synchronised with the traditional percussion. Traditional perc: an interesting way to become. familiar with Cuban salsa rhythms, and basic technique on conga, maracas, bell, guiro and claves.

Maracatu for Valentine's Day
Classical perc: the beginning and middle of the piece should be performed in a festive style - the end requires considerable flexibility as well as attentive listening to the triangle. Traditional perc: a very important rhythm from the Recife region. Listen carefully to the semiquavers on the CD. The technical work on the triangle, near the end, will help every percussionist improve.

Baya Nagjla
Classical perc: particularly interesting for practising group accelerandi. Traditional perc: work on various syncopated figures with the basque drum.
