ALBUM REVIEW
As described on Musea website: First artist signed by Musea at its foundation, Jean-Pascal BOFFO offers a work full of a rare beauty, magnifiscence and diversity. "Jeux De Nains" presents an intimist Progressive rock based on Jean-Pascal's delicate guitares and his keyboards sequences, in a style close to Steve HACKETT. "Carillon" includes more influences (MAGMA, WEIDORJE) and is more electric and orchestral: a new style is born. On "Ritual" Our man develops a highly symphonic style, influenced by RAVEL and DEBUSSY, with the help of classical musicians: quite great music ! He renewed his style on "Nomades" with a line-up including saxophone and double bass in addition to his guitars and the drums. It is an ethnic fusion with arabian touch. He released a new album called "Offrande" as a perfect synthesis from his evolution, mixing with success Progressive, jazz and ethnic music in pieces full of intensity and personnality which can compare to the masters of this kind of ethno-fusion (John McLAUGHLIN, STERN, Pat METHENY): melodies and emotions join together for a music of
the highest quality, beautifully structured, arranged, orchestrated and melodical. His new record, "Vu Du Ciel" is a synthesis of all the styles he explored until now. It is at the pit of his musical knowledge and has a luxurious star-shaped cardbox packing… Wonderful.
