Stéphane Galland & The Rhythm Hunters integrate rhythmic principles from different parts of the world into a highly personal language, with polyphonic, groovy and trance-like aspects (Africa), mathematically complex ones (India) and irregular pulsations (Balkans). The objective: to explore different approaches to rhythm and to integrate them into a fluid musical discourse. The group consists of youngsters Shoko Igarashi (Japan),Sylvain Debaisieux (Belgium), Pierre-Antoine Savoyat (France), Wajdi Riahi (Tunisia) and Louise van den Heuvel (Netherlands). Drummer Stéphane Galland, a founder of AKA Moon, composed the pieces as divergent musical territories inviting ‘rhythm hunting’. The band’s debut album appeared on Challenge Records in April of 2024. Bring your adventurous ears!
