One can only wish luck to anyone trying to brand Meï Teï Shô with an “appellation contrôlée”. Their sound is a bustling mix of good vibes, a boundary breaking vision of music, guided solely by the wish to create, and opening up to anything one can imagine - and more. Free jazz in between quote marks, funk in between the lines, with an electronic underline and a bold touch of dub, some afro-rock drumming, but with hip-hop on the undertone, hardcore for its energy base, a trace of m’balax, fragments of folk, of husky soul… Two aspects are bright : Mei Tei Sho is a musical innovation, and they are incredible on stage. Press says “rough and communicative energy”, “public into trans”, “atomic show”, “alive mix”, “scene beasts”… medias comments are numerous to qualify their concerts. You can find all this in this wonderful album recorded live at home (Lyon/Transbordeur) in October 2005.
