ENGLISH
The international Bonnoir Trio is working with the link between jazz and it’s roots in african rhythm. They draw inspiration from traditional music from Westafrica, nordic music, blues and jazz. Simon plays bamboo flute, N’Goni, and L’Arc a bouche. Katrine plays saxophone and flute, Solomon plays Calabash and djembe. The three musicians are all composers and instrumentalists and they tour all over the world with their music.
Their music is powerful, meditative, lyrical and groovy with lots of space for improvisation.

FRANCAIS
En ghanéen, le mot MALA signifie “Je vais chanter!”
Le BonNoir Trio puise ses racines dans la musique traditionelle de l’Afrique de l’Ouest, le blues et le jazz. Leur musique groovy et ouverte au monde, laisse une large place à l’improvisation et à la magie du moment.
Le BonNoir Trio joue ensemble depuis 2016, lorsque Katrine Suwalski (Danemark) et Simon Winse (Burkina Faso/France), se sont rencontrés sur une tournée avec le Há Orchestra au Ghana. C’est ainsi qu’ils ont débuté leur collaboration musicale. Puis Katrine a demandé à son ami de longue date, le percussioniste virtuose Ayi Solomon (Ghana/Danemark) de les rejoindre. Après plusieurs concerts au Danemark, en France et au Burkina Faso, le BonNoir Trio vous présente leur premier album MALA.

Den internationale BonNoir Trio spiller legende, groovy worldjazz på allerhøjeste niveau. Repertoiret er komponeret af trioens medlemmer. Sammen skaber de et lyrisk og kraftfuldt musikalsk univers, med inspiration fra Vestafrikansk musik, Blues og Jazz.
Trioen har siden 2016 spillet koncerter i ind og udland og er nu klar med deres første udgivelse: MALA (Gateway Music – katsuw 010)
Albummet MALA rummer en fin blanding af både vokal- og instrumentalnumre. De fire første numre er indspillet i Bogey studio i København, som også står for de resterende liveoptagelser fra en koncert i Støberiet på Nørrebro i den 13. november 2021.
Den danske jazzsaxofonist og komponist Katrine Suwalski, som i årtier har har arbejdet med inspiration fra Vestafrikansk musik, traf multiinstrumentalisten Simon Winse på en turné i Ghana. Simon Winse er fra Burkina Faso, men bor i Paris. De besluttede at starte et musikalsk samarbejde og Katrine Suwalski inviterede den herboende percussionist, Ayi Solomon (Ghana), til at være med.
De traditionelle akustiske instrumenter fra Vestafrika væves sammen med saxofonen ind i melodiske kompositioner og sange. BonNoir Trio præsenterer på albummet MALA en upoleret, smuk og sjælfuld musik.
