Yesterday, Xbreed's drummer, Guylain, was asked what he would like to see on the blog... |

People are asking for the lyrics of the songs you have recorded on the 'live at the BBC' album...
Do you want this to be done?
"Yes...Let's try to do that...I guess you would like me to say 'why yes'.."
Yes...Why yes?
"I think lyrics are as important as the songs themselves because when we write them, it's always about a situation that touches us and I would like to share that with the people who listen to us... so that they can in a way, understand our point of view..Even if each one can interprete as he or she wishes to..."
Is there a song in particular that you would like to share?
"Well...apart from the songs people already know from our album, there is this creole song we just made. I would like people to see its lyrics because it speaks about 'others' but also about us..About how, even if see us as artists, we do sometimes act like those we criticize. On the other hand, my girlfriend, whom i miss so much (she's studying in Belgium) asked me about them...(laugh)"

Jean Daniel's photos...
Emilien Jubeau is one of those young mauritians who truly believe in their art and in that of their counterparts. After listening to "live @ the bbc" he wanted to take pictures of Xbreed and capture those emotions which make them feel so close to their crowd. With his friend and colleague, Jean-Daniel Villiers, he managed it...And here are two pictures. Just to make you want to see more...
