Description
Shawi
( self-titled / éponyme )
** rarely auctioned on eBay **
1981 , Les Distributions Intervalle DIN-2001, Private pressing, Canada
The only release from this totally unknown and obscure trio from north-central Quebec (Shawinigan area), and aptly named Shawi (a native Algonquin Indian word meaning "portage", or "passage to new dimensions"). All original compositions from Jean Gignac (vocals, piano, guitar, harmonica, synthesizer) and Jean Cournoyer (vocals, acoustic & electric guitar), with additional support from Marcel Lord (percussion, bongos, tabla).
Privately recorded in 1980 in total anonymity, with pressings numbering only in the hundreds, and with little distribution from the miniscule label Intervalle.......the LP immediately fell into obscurity (now long out-of-print, with little chance of ever seeing a CD reissue).
Yet, this is extraordinarily-accomplished musicianship with superb CS&N-like vocal harmonies, great progressive folk-rock vibes à la Harmonium, strong folk-psych loner-downer lyrics (in French) and dreamy overtones that remind one of a certain Roger Rodier (there's also couple of outstanding all-instrumental numbers.....listen to the climax-building progressive gem "Douceur de Vivre", below).
