"It's another part of the Acoustic Tour project: Michel Portal invites guitarist Sylvain Luc, whom he has known for a long time. These two tireless virtuosos with inexhaustible ideas will never cease to measure themselves by untimely reminders to sketch a stylistically indefinable dialogue, where each of their fixed ideas, fantasies and daydreams meet in long expansions, from near silence to screaming, from calm to fury. It's almost laughable: when a Basque meets a Basque, what do they tell each other? Basque stories. And Portal adds, ""He often told me, 'We're going to play a zortziko, a 5-count dance from home.' It's this 5-count that's difficult to dance with! "" Unlike other performances, the encore gives us a sublime lullaby: a gypsy-style waltz. And Portal adds, ""I played with gypsies!"" **Philippe Lesage**".
