The numerous features present on this new album (Sôra, Alaska, Lil Camelot, Cosmic Batwota, Karafizi) show us the producer’s adaptability and capability. His intentions are clear: to create an instrumental setting to showcase the voices of artists of diverse musical universes. Influenced simultaneously from electronic music, hip-hop, jazz, and rap, his compositions are rich. The result is an iconoclastic music that reflects all the range of his influences. As he recently moved in Chamonix, the producer has come a long way, and 2023 shall be a year of renewal and rebirth for Ténéré. TO BE ALIVE was born out of his desire to tell, in the most just and sincere way possible, what he went through in the last two years: his battle against cancer. This album tells his entire process of acceptance and his struggles in the face of this hardship: after a period of doubts comes hope. He wanted to make music that gives courage and strength. A promise that reminds us that nothing is ever lost.
