La Marmite Infernale

AM042

"ARFI is 30 years old, and so is the Marmite, still bubbling with fresh energy — and I’m not talking about youthful hearts — fueled by new elements and instruments. And you’re hit right from the start with a furious sonic charge that rivals the likes of Canto General, Municipale Balcanica, or the fanfare of Kusturica, without the spirit, colors, style, sound, and the sense of song that each musician carries within themselves being trampled by this lively youth! With that same feeling of freedom, enthusiasm, and joy, one can tell that even in the studio, they aren’t frozen behind their scores. There’s no hint of post-free nostalgia, but rather a vitality that never stops, a constant rejuvenation that dismisses the idea of a necessarily better past. At ARFI, every new morning brings a new day, different from the one before, without forgetting the previous one. This has been going on for thirty years, and it never gets old! Every album from the Marmite Infernale is a renewed joy."

— Jean Buzelin (Jazzman – January 2008)
