Sages comme des sauvages is a French duo that implies much more than one country and two people: their debut album Largue la peau is furrowed by journeys and returns, musing and borrowings. Their instrumentarium is linked to their lives.
Ismaël brought back a bouzouki from Greece (where Ava grew up), and a cavaquinho from Brazil (where his mother lived for a while). Ava plays a rare Greek tambourine called defi, that she sets on her lap, inserting her knees inside the drum and hitting the metal jingles with a Chinese chopstick she found in the kitchen. They each write their own songs, composing together, each following their natural slope, Ismaël favoring sophistication, Ava more inclined towards the unvarnished. They are obsessed with music from La Réunion and love to sing in creole.
The name “Sages comme des sauvages” is a pun, a wordplay. In French, the expression “sages comme des images” means to be seen and not heard, literally “tamed/wise as a picture/image”. By replacing the word image with savage, the duet implies that the wise ones might not be as tamed as they seem and certainly no silent postcards. Like any good pun, their name is hard to translate, but no more than Einstürzende Neubauten.
Their debut album “Largue la peau” (Drop the skin) was released in France in September 2015 and was well received by the national radios. Since then the duet has been touring intensively across France and Belgium, spreading their unique songs, subtly cobbled together, intuitive and knowledgeable at the same time, woven in colourful moving figures, unexpected rhythms and harmonies.

Inattendu
The song "Inattendu" by Sages comme des sauvages is a unique and captivating composition that expresses a range of emotions that come with unexpected situations. The song opens with the phrase "Inattendu, arrivé" (unexpected, arrived) which sets the tone for the rest of the song. The singer talks about the unexpected arrival of a person, and how they are both young and old, rich and cold. The lyrics are repetitive, using similar phrases to convey the impact of this unexpected arrival.
The singer uses contrasts to show the complexity of emotions that come with the arrival of an unexpected guest. They describe the person as "riche mais froide" (rich but cold), which shows that they may have wealth, but their emotional state is detached and impassive. The chorus is particularly powerful, with the singer repeating "sans les mots sans les mots, L'émotion" (without words, without words, the emotion), which highlights the strength of emotions that come with the unexpected.
The final lines of the song are particularly poignant as the singer describes how the unexpected guest falls, hurts, and crawls back up again. This describes the resilience of the person, who despite their hardships, keep coming back. Overall, the song captures the meaning of unexpected situations and the emotions they bring, from shock to resilience.
