Sages Comme des Sauvages is a Franco-American-Greek-Corso-Brussels duo made up of Ava Carrère and Ismaël Colombani. Ava is a polyglot visual artist and self-taught musician, while Ismaël is a trained violinist and multi-instrumentalist. She comes from the cosmopolitan world of Berlin cabaret, he from noisy, experimental music and composes for the stage.

Co-produced by Dakou, a master of Afro-Cuban electro rhythms and an imminent member of Tschegue and The YD. With the participation of Sofiane Saidi, the "prince of raï 2.0", the Occitan folk collective San Salvador and the brilliant MPL. On tour in Zimbabwe, Sages comme des sauvages met Stimy Stimela and Blessing Chimanga, and after singing live with them they couldn't resist including them on the album.

The album, mixed by Florent Livet and mastered by Chab, marks a new stage in the band's career. The duo's artistic audacity hit the mark, and now they've added an ambitious artistic and sonic direction. Maison Maquis is undoubtedly a landmark album, a dangerous masterpiece that pushes exactly where it hurts and yet does you good.
