The outstanding bass player Etienne Mbappé comes from Cameroon. His technique and rhythmic sense are amazing and he has created a great musical genre of his own, transcending the frontiers between African music and other styles such as jazz, fusion, pop and even classical music. Known for his years with the Zawinul Syndicate, Etienne also recorded with Ray Charles, played with Carlos Santana and recently joined John McLaughlin’s quartet.
Etienne is now touring with his band SU LA TAKE, giving an unforgettable high-energy live performance!
This live song below confirms that Etienne is definitively not just one of the greatest bass player in the world, but a real Maestro, an incredible arranger able to turn a Trembling African rhythm, into an explosive piece of Rock !
