Farees a fait un album conceptuel : un double LP intitulé BORDER PATROL, sur lequel il parle, chante, rappe et joue excellemment de la guitare et de nombreux autres instruments. Sa poésie nous ramène aux meilleures protest-songs, qu’elles soient du spoken-word de héros afro-américains de la fin des années 60’ ou celle de Marley ou Hendrix. Ses paroles, sons, et rythmes sont tous au même niveau, et c’est le plus haut niveau. L’album invite aussi en featuring le groupe Calexico, qui partage avec Farees, un intérêt commun sur les situations particulières aux frontières. La musique de Farees est difficile à catégoriser, comme toute véritable nouveauté et innovation. Son style est unique, un genre de nouvelle génération d’African-spoken-electric-blues-rock. Une chose est sure, c’est du ‘jamais entendu’. Farees est auteur-compositeur interprète? Oui. Poète? Oui. Guitariste innovant, hors pair? Oui. Et il est son propre producteur artistique… Découvrez l’Album BORDER PATROL et appréciez le “Farees experience”!
