Une Année Formidable from Philippe & Gabriel

2020 and 2021 have been really difficult years for all and Une Année Formidable, the first single by the artist Philippe & Gabriel, couldn’t better express the emotions and feelings by the author in this period. In these unprecedented times, we all felt a little lost, struggling to adapt to the new reality. The world has changed, people have changed and it seems many cries for help remain unanswered.

Despite the artist's name, all music and lyrics are the work of one person, a self-taught musician who composed Une Année Formidable during the last months of the year. This song is going to be included in the Philippe & Gabriel debut album entitled Les Rivières Folk, to be released next Spring 2021, a music project completely created in remote working collaboration between several folk, country and jazz artists, from different countries: Toby Wilson (UK), Paul Tooley (USA), Daniel Sadownick (USA) and the Grammy Awards candidate and multi awarded Italian guitarist and composer Roberto Tola (Bob Mintzer, Tom Harrel, Carla Bley, Steve Swallow, Shakatak, Michael Lington and more) who supported and co-arranged the author in several tunes of the album.
