SORTIE LE 8 FÉVRIER ZODI ET TÉHU, FRÈRES DU DÉSERT

 

Après nous avoir conté l’histoire troublée du Burundi dans Petit Pays (2020), Éric Barbier nous transporte au cœur du désert marocain. C’est là, sous la chaleur écrasante du soleil, que naît l’improbable amitié entre un jeune garçon nommé Zodi (Yassir Drief) et Téhu, un bébé dromadaire doté d’un don pour la course. Au fil d’une intrigue qui mêle avec brio le frisson de l’aventure et la tendresse d’un récit d’amitié universel, le réalisateur donne à voir toute la beauté et l’envergure des paysages marocains. Une aventure à vivre absolument sur grand écran, ne serait-ce que pour profiter de la fantastique bande originale composée par le talentueux Mika

RELEASE DATE 8 FEBRUARY ZODI AND TEHU, BROTHERS OF THE DESERT


After telling us the troubled history of Burundi in Petit Pays (2020), Éric Barbier transports us to the heart of the Moroccan desert. It is there, under the scorching heat of the sun, that the improbable friendship between a young boy named Zodi (Yassir Drief) and Tehu, a baby camel with a gift for running, is born. In a plot that brilliantly combines the thrill of adventure with the tenderness of a universal tale of friendship, the director reveals the beauty and scope of the Moroccan landscape. This is an adventure that must be experienced on the big screen, if only to enjoy the fantastic soundtrack composed by the talented Mika

I'm so excited to finally hear the full soundtrack! :cheer:

 

19 songs too!? I'm guessing this will be a mix of songs with lyrics and the symphonic music alone, it would be nice if there's more of Mika's voice than what we've already heard too.

 

Do we know if there'll be a physical copy release of the soundtrack?

I was wondering too if Mika wanted to say 19 songs or 19 movie themes. I don't think all pieces will be with his voice,

 

And for the moment we don't know if there will ne a physical copy. I would like to have one.

Awww he said „thank you“ in Dutch as well! He‘s Belgian, but not all Belgians speak both French and Flemish/Dutch, wonder if he does.

Mika chante "Feels Like Fire" avec Nomfundo Moh pour le film "Zodi et Téhu"

 

Avant l'arrivée de son prochain album, Mika devient compositeur de musique de film à l'occasion de la sortie de "Zodi et Téhu, frères du désert" avec Alexandra Lamy. Il y partage également le titre "Feels Like Fire" avec la star sud-africaine Nomfundo Moh. A écouter sur Purecharts !
 
2023 sera celle des défis pour Mika ! Après avoir enflammé les charts et les scènes du monde entier, le chanteur, bientôt de retour dans "The Voice", devient compositeur de musique de film pour "Zodi et Téhu, frères du désert", au cinéma le 8 février prochain. Réalisé par Eric Barbier ("Petit Pays", "La promesse de l'aube"), le long-métrage raconte l'histoire d'un jeune nomade, Zodi, âgé de 12 ans, qui découvre un bébé dromadaire orphelin dans le désert. Devenu ami avec celui qu'il baptise Téhu, il va partir à l'aventure avec pour but de remporter la plus grande course de dromadaires au monde à Abu Dhabi dans l'espoir de sauver sa tribu. A l'écran, Alexandra Lamy ou Youssef Hajdi donneront la réplique à la jeune révélation Yassir Drief qui campe le personnage principal. Et c'est donc Mika qui en signe la bande originale !
 

"C'était le projet parfait"

« Je rêvais de composer de la musique de film depuis des lustres, alors quand le réalisateur Eric Barbier m'a demandé de composer la bande originale de son nouveau film, je me suis tout de suite installé dans mon appartement à Athènes et j'ai lu le scénario… C'était le projet parfait » explique Mika sur son compte Instagram, racontant alors comment il a créé les 19 titres qui composent l'album : « Après avoir passé du temps à faire des recherches avec un musicologue, à écouter et à lire pendant des semaines, j'ai finalement commencé à écrire de la musique. J'ai commencé à écrire des thèmes pour la bande originale au printemps, lors d'une tournée en Amérique du Nord. Tout a commencé à San Francisco lors de journées off entre Coachella et les concerts au Fillmore ! J'ai ensuite continué à Florence et à Paris, mettant en place plusieurs stations de travail et m'attardant à l'énorme travail de composition de 75 minutes de musique symphonique ».

 

En plus des pistes instrumentales qui accompagnent les aventures de "Zodi et Téhu, frères du désert", concoctées avec plus de 130 musiciens du monde entier, Mika a aussi eu l'inspiration pour donner vie à une véritable chanson intitulée "Feels Like Fire", disponible aujourd'hui à l'occasion de la sortie de la BO du film. « Love feels like fire / Every step it takes me high / And your skin / What it's for / Let the truth lead us to more / Your love, feels like fire / Your love, it feels like fire / Feels like fire, your love, it feels like fire » lance-t-il sur le refrain tribal et solaire de ce titre plein de bonnes ondes, partagé avec la chanteuse sud-africaine Nomfundo Moh. « Tellement fier de ce projet et j'espère que vous l'aimerez autant que nous » se réjouit l'artiste sur Instagram.

 

De quoi patienter avant l'arrivée du nouvel album en français de Mika, qui partage d'ailleurs actuellement le duo "Keep It Simple" avec Vianney.

Mika sings "Feels Like Fire" with Nomfundo Moh for the movie "Zodi et Téhu"


Before the arrival of his next album, Mika became a film music composer on the occasion of the release of "Zodi et Téhu, frères du désert" with Alexandra Lamy. He also shares the track "Feels Like Fire" with South African star Nomfundo Moh. Listen on Purecharts!

 

2023 will be one of challenges for Mika! After having ignited the charts and stages around the world, the singer, soon to be back in "The Voice", becomes a film music composer for "Zodi and Téhu, brothers of the desert", at the cinema next February 8. Directed by Eric Barbier ("Petit Pays", "La promise de l'aube"), the feature film tells the story of a young nomad, Zodi, aged 12, who discovers an orphan baby dromedary in the desert. . Becoming friends with the one he baptizes Téhu, he will set off on an adventure with the aim of winning the biggest camel race in the world in Abu Dhabi in the hope of saving his tribe. On screen, Alexandra Lamy or Youssef Hajdi will respond to the young revelation Yassir Drief who plays the main character. And it is therefore Mika who signs the soundtrack!

 

"It was the perfect project"

 

“I had dreamed of composing film music for ages, so when director Eric Barbier asked me to compose the soundtrack for his new film, I immediately moved to my apartment in Athens and I read the script... It was the perfect project," explains Mika on his Instagram account, recounting how he created the 19 tracks that make up the album: "After spending time doing research with a musicologist, listening and reading for weeks, I finally started writing music. I started writing themes for the soundtrack in the spring while touring North America. It all started in San Francisco during days off between Coachella and the concerts at the Fillmore! I then continued in Florence and Paris, setting up several workstations and dwelling on the enormous work of composing 75 minutes of symphonic music”.


In addition to the instrumental tracks that accompany the adventures of "Zodi and Téhu, brothers of the desert", concocted with more than 130 musicians from all over the world, Mika also had the inspiration to give life to a real song called "Feels Like Fire". , available today on the occasion of the release of the film's soundtrack. “Love feels like fire / Every step it takes me high / And your skin / What it's for / Let the truth lead us to more / Your love, feels like fire / Your love, it feels like fire / Feels like fire, your love , it feels like fire” he launches on the tribal and solar chorus of this title full of good vibes, shared with the South African singer Nomfundo Moh. “So proud of this project and I hope you will like it as much as we do” rejoices the artist on Instagram.

 

What to wait before the arrival of the new French album by Mika, who also currently shares the duet “Keep It Simple” with Vianney.
