Carte blanche for Natascha Rogers
Onaida is a return to the essential. An intimate, spirited record where Natascha Rogers blends piano and percussion like two beats of the same heart.
Le Baiser Salé (Paris 1st)
About
Between European roots, Amerindian heritage, and long journeys with Mandinka and Afro-Cuban percussionists, she shapes music that is at once deep, organic, and soothing.
Here, everything breathes: piano motifs that circle like mantras, songs in several languages, and rhythms that ground and connect. Each piece feels like a gentle ritual—a way to take care of oneself, others, the living, memories, and the invisible. It is simple, but never simplistic: music that touches because it is true.
For this carte blanche, the wish is to extend this universe into something free and warm, almost like being at home. Opening up the tracks from Onaida, letting them breathe differently, and also venturing toward new upcoming compositions.
And because music is, above all, about sharing, special guests will join to enrich this moment.
