Synopsis
AUDIO ONLY
The world of the Hamdad-Gonny family opens up with one of the letters exchanged between Mehdi and his father during their 10-year-long divergence. Intimate tale about the immigration of a French-Algerian family facing racism in France as well as in Quebec, L’écorce et le noyau is also a deep journey in the relationship between a father who grew up during the Algerian war of national liberation and his son. A relationship in which the intimacy and the unknown stand alongside, at times affected by silence, at times by deep respect. Nowadays a father, Mehdi takes the first step needed towards the transmission and the recovery of parentage by meeting with Djilali where he left him many years ago, amongst the fantasy of the memories and the loneliness nurtured by secrets.

Direction
Mehdi Cayenne
Medhi Cayenne is a free spirit, truly unclassifiable within the francophonie. With a broad variety of sounds all the same dulcet and gritty/grinding, he managed to improve his eclectic, minimalist and suggestive approach throughout his last three albums: Luminata (2011), Na Na Boo Boo (2013) and Aube (2015).
