5.0 out of 5 stars Vive la France !, January 19, 1999

By A Customer

This review is from: Famille Nombreuse (Audio CD)

If you think that nothing happened in French music since Brel's death, you're definitely wrong. Les Negresses Vertes have captured the soul of Paris, and, listening to this CD, you'll get the smell of red wine in a cafe. Les negresses are interesting because they play a music which looks like France : a mixture of flamenco, latin and arabic rythms with traditionnal instruments. This CD will be probably classified as "World music" in America, but it's not. It's rock and roll man ! Champions du monde !

Anyone who is into world music especially fusion, this is a must have. A mix of french, flamenco, and north african tunes! A french classic. Five stars *****.

This is one fantastic album. If music moves one, it is working. This music moves me, I have to force myself to stop listening to it so I can savor it for a longer time.
If you like Rumba Catalana, Manu Chao, Sergent Garcia, Ojos de Brujo and the like you may love this music as well. It's more French but has all the elements.
So far I haven't heard a Negresses Vertes album I didn't like, but this one is superb.
I highly recommend it.
