L'or noir , the result of a new collaboration between Arthur H and Nicolas Repac , is a read album of black poetry, essentially Caribbean, where the two friends have contrived to create an ad hoc musical atmosphere for the works of poets such as ' Aimé Césaire , Édouard Glissant , René Depestre or Dany Laferrière , chosen on the themes of earth, love and death.

Here Arthur H demonstrates his talents as a reader, hiding behind the words of the poets, more actor than singer, slammer than rocker. Nicolas Repac , the sorcerer of sounds puts the writings of poets to music, and what music! This gives pride of place to the thumb piano, the sanza, the harmonic flute and – of course – the guitar which here takes on the air of kora. Alternately hot or moist, always in love, full of sensuality, the musician knew how to find the appropriate rhythms that evoke the magic, the warmth, the sensuality specific to African and Caribbean cultures.

The whole gives L'or noir a cinematographic presence, where nature and its elements, which hold a preponderant place here, come alive, where poetry comes to life and which pushes us to the most complete abandonment, time from an album.
