about

EN - In the introduction of his 1971 record The Afro-Eurasian Eclipse, Duke Ellington mentions the theory of the Canadian academic, Marshall McLuhan, according to whom the culture of the whole world has gone oriental since the Renaissance. In the « Global Village » predicted by McLuhan in the 1960s, no-one will be able to retain his or her identity, not even those in the Orient. Eastern Wind is a composition based on the idea of a cultural melting pot as the future of humanity. It uses a rhythm called Korodiouba from the Sénoufo ethnic group, often played in Mali, as well as sounds from East Africa.

FR - Duke Ellington, en introduction à son enregistrement The Afro-Eurasian Eclipse de 1971, mentionne une théorie de l’universitaire canadien Marshall McLuhan, selon laquelle la culture du monde entier se dirige vers l’Orient depuis la Renaissance. Dans le « village global » que prophétisait McLuhan dans les années 60, les occidentaux ne parviendraient pas à maintenir leur propre identité culturelle. Et l’identité culturelle des orientaux eux-mêmes s’en trouverait modifiée durablement. La composition Eastern Wind se base sur cette idée de métissage culturel comme avenir pour l’Humanité, en utilisant le rythme Korodiouba de l’ethnie Sénoufo, beaucoup joué au Mali et des sonorités d’Afrique de l’Est.
