St Germain (aka Ludovic Navarre), whose new, self-titled album—his first in 15 years—was released last month on Nonesuch Records in the United States, embarks on an extensive tour, beginning this week in Europe and coming to North America in the spring. The latter starts at the 9:30 Club in Washington, DC, on March 31, 2016, and includes stops in Philadelphia, New York, Boston, Quebec, Montreal, Toronto, Detroit, Chicago, St. Paul, Denver, and Vancouver, with more to be announced soon. Below is the initial itinerary for the North American tour, tickets for which go on sale this Friday, November 13.
To coincide with the announcement of the tour, St Germain has unveiled a video for "Sittin' Here," a track from the new album. You can watch the video, which was directed by Cédric Mérand, below.
The new album, which comes 15 years after the commercially and critically successful Tourist, has been met with much acclaim, with NPR declaring that Navarre "remains a sly master of the textural mix," the Independent on Sunday praising the album's "tasteful blend of dexterous musicianship and smooth syncopated beats," and the Wall Street Journal calling it "a clever and very pleasing album, one that justifies the long wait." St Germain's new album "is a bold step ahead ... a remarkable feat," raves All About Jazz, with "an unequivocally brilliant palette of sounds and styles."
For the St Germain tour, Navarre will be joined by Guimba Kouyate (guitar), Didier Davidas (keyboard), Jorge Bezerra (drums), Sadio Kone (n'goni), Edouard Labor (saxophone & flute), Cheikh Lo Ouza Diallo (khora), Sullyvan Rhino (bass) with Navarre himself at the center, acting as musical director.
St Germain, whose albums Boulevard (1995) and Tourist originated a genre of French electronic music, returns with a self-titled record that marries percussive grooves, always central to St Germain's sound, with a new element: traditional Malian music. The new album is now available for purchase on iTunes and in the Nonesuch Store.
St Germain features various musicians and singers from the African diaspora and beyond including Malian kora player Mamadou Cherif Soumano, Senegalese kora player Cheikh Lo Ouza Diallo, Malian violinist Zoumana Tereta (on “How Dare You”), Senegalese bass player Alioune Wade (Ismael Lô), Malian n’goni player Adama Coulibaly (on “Family Tree”), Malian vocalist Nahawa Doumbia (on “Sittin’ Here”), Malian vocalist Fanta Babayogo, Brazilian percussionist Jorge Bezerra and a Lightnin’ Hopkins sample on “Real Blues” amongst others. Notably, St Germain also includes contributions from revered Malian guitarist and n’goni player Guimba Kouyata whom Brian Eno recently heralded as “the greatest guitar player I’ve heard for years and years.”

The Black Keys' Dan Auerbach and Patrick Carney, who kick off their International Players tour in Manchester, England, on Saturday, are on Sound Opinions to talk about their new album, Ohio Players, with hosts Jim DeRogatis and Greg Kot, who call them "one of the greatest rock acts to emerge in the 21st century." You can hear their conversation here. The hosts also review Hurray for the Riff Raff's new album, The Past Is Still Alive, calling it "one great tune after another."
Composer/guitarist Yasmin Williams—whose first song on Nonesuch, "Dawning," was released late last year ahead of her label debut album, due later this year—will support Brittany Howard and Michael Kiwanuka on their North American fall tour. The shows begin at The Met in Philadelphia on September 29, and include stops in Boston, New York, Saint Paul, Denver, Boise, Portland, Vancouver, Seattle, Berkeley, Los Angeles, and more.
