In the last 5 years, Lyon-based label Jarring effects engages an international adventure in three parts. A musical project involving the production of a collaboration between local and French artists, a documentary, an authentic, personnal insight of a city, through artists eyes. The result will be a French and international tour, projections, meetings… We're creating an extraordinary musical project, in forgotten territories of the vast world by musicians meet and discover eachother's cities. This collection of documentaries and albums, called World Wide Effects, about the idea of urbanity started in a port city in South Africa, Cape Town in 2013 (Cape Town Effects) and then moved to Detroit, MI "Motor city" in 2015 (D. Lights) the city of automobile industry which made America invent soul music.. And the road trip ! It was obvious then that the project would continue un New Orleans, "NOLA" on the other side of the American dream. NOLA IS CALLING is the title of this new episode. It will be a triangular meeting between France (David Walters; Olivier Koundouno), Benin (Bona Didolanvi) and the United States (Big Chief Jermaine & Big Chief Romeo ; HaSizzle). The documentary CALL & Response directed by Arno Bitschy and Elodie Maillot will be an outsider look, fucusing on the roots and traditions of the city following two characters, Big chief Jermaine, representing the Mardi-Gras Indians, and Ha Sizzle, emerging figure of the bounce music, a new electronic musical current that collides various codes and genres, that could only be born in NOLA.
