about

"It's true, we Indians are part of the American dream." The tone is set, as is the title of this Barney Bush poem dedicated to Leonard Peltier (a political prisoner since 1976) on the double album, Left for Dead. Talking about Tony Hymas, interviewed on Arte in 1993, the Shawnee poet confided: "This music is composed by a man who loves his own land. He knows how to take the time to listen to his heart beat. When he heard this poetry, he seemed to be in full alliance. Tony's music is the horse on which the rider carries his messages."

"His texts rumble like thunder, burst like lightning, awakening spirits with a rain of raging words."
Martine Laval in Télérama, April 5, 1995

"C'est vrai, nous, les Indiens, faisons partie du rêve américain." Le ton est donné, comme est donné le titre de ce poème de Barney Bush dédié à Leonard Peltier (prisonnier politique depuis 1976) au double album, Left for Dead. À propos de Tony Hymas, interviewé sur Arte en 1993, le poète shawnee confiait : "Cette musique est composée par un homme qui aime sa propre terre. Il sait prendre le temps d'écouter son cœur battre. Quand il a entendu cette poésie, il a paru être en pleine alliance. La musique de Tony est le cheval sur lequel le cavalier porte ses messages."

« Ses textes grondent comme le tonnerre, éclatent comme la foudre, réveillent les esprits d’une pluie de mots rageurs. »
Martine Laval in Télérama, 5 avril 1995

about

nato records Paris, France

Founded in 1980, nato records quickly constituted a puzzle with all sorts of openings without any other restriction than that of producing meaning, that of a music living with the world. More than a puzzle, an island perhaps, made up of passionate encounters, which made Francis Marmande write in Le Monde "The most original production of this time" (Sept. 10, 1992). ... more
