In 1980, Daniel Humair, François Jeanneau and Henri Texier recorded the music for a documentary titled Akagera devoted to the lives of the great animals of Africa. Directed by Gérard Vienne and broadcast in 19 episodes of 52 minutes each on a French national TV. Akagera is the Nile, the birthplace of Rwanda. The land of a thousand hills on the Tanzanian border. These majestic landscapes are conducive to dreams and singular beauty. The instrumentation (sax / bass / drums) here favors the call to travel and reflects an extremely rich musical atmosphere. The three musicians, also composers, each contribute to playing on original themes, tinged with Africa and savannahs, inexhaustible subjects of experimental improvisations. Featuring Gordon Beck on piano.

41 years later, Akagera is being reissued on vinyl and CD to meet many requests from all over the world. Akagera remains an essential album to rediscover and listen to with your eyes closed.
