GADA Kodjo (TRONSI)

GADA TRONSI
is the coming together of talented musicians from different cultures and horizons around the compositions and arrangements of the multi-instrumentalist
The project, which began in 2004, resulted in the first album « Agama Concept »GADA TRONSI is working on his second album « AGNIDOHOEDO » with the same formation, evolving from quartet to septet and back again as the feeling takes him.

After having played his music in the Jazz Clubs and festivals of West Africa, GADA TRONSI settled in France in 2003, joining various groups before setting up BLACK YOVO and playing his own style, AGBAJAZZ.

« I looked to the different sounds and rhythms from my roots, harmonising them into AGBAJAZZ. This ancient style of bewitching sonorities, revisited by my sensibility to contemporary jazz, opens the mind, and poses a new regard on jazz world music. It's a style based on the development of natural sounds. Its transparency opens it up to other influences. I consider my music as a painting in which one can enter and leave easily by any door. The sounds of the universe and nature represent a network of music in which I can express myself. Through the pleasure the music procures, man, life and nature are my sources of inspiration. I want to bring peoples together, wake them up to the love and understanding of themselves, to our world and to everything in it. I want to touch the universe with my creations, with this music that evokes the flamboyant sunset of Africa. »
