Farmo
Over time, I met the harmonica again through a much more organic and acoustic music than what I did play until now. I am particularly interested in integrating the harmonica into flamenco music.
I put you some little games made with the harmonica below, but be careful, there is no relationship with the album!

Paco Bastida and Stéphane Laidet met in the compas workshops of Chico Ocaña, singer of Mártires del Compas. Their taste for improvisation led them to come together for a very interesting investigation on how to integrate a new instrument, such as the diatonic harmonica, into the flamenco genre, and on how music can tell a story. During a concert they meet Salva Sanchez and together they consolidate the ULTRAMARINOS formation.
It is an experiment of great reciprocal listening because always balanced on the edge of improvisation, playing with styles such as bulerías, tanguillo, fandango, guajira, rumba ...

Hologramas
The Hologramas project is a concept that arises from the workshop taught by Chico Ocaña in Barcelona. This work comes together with 4 basic elements, voice, guitar, harmonica and compas. These elements dissipate each other since it is the first time that songs have emerged from a harmonica optic, being a wind element with which Chico had never worked before. This project arises with songs that are born from the meeting of Stéphane Laidet on the harmonica, Paco Bastida on the chords and the flamenco sense of his guitar and Izä pop, funk and rock with a quite sweet voice and a forceful guitar. And Chico Ocaña, who is the one who gives meaning to songs, compas and literature, giving melodies where the elements that are associated marry each other naturally.
Holograms is a human work, simple but deep.
Leo Cayuela is a bluesman and Clot craftsman who builds his cigar box guitars following the tradition of the first mississippi bluesmen. Together with Stephane Laidet, a French harmonica player based in Poble Sec, they play music that is a good example of rural and electric blues from the 30s to the 60s.
