5.0 out of 5 stars This CD is Hades HOT!!!!, May 3, 1999

By A Customer

This review is from: Princesses Nubiennes (Audio CD)

From the first to the last track, I am swept away by the voices of these bohemian chantueses, the HOT styling of African drum beats, acoutstic guitars, hip-hop, R&B and soul and the eclectic topics of the lyrics into the Afro-French experience of Les Nubians. The music is so MOVING and INFECTIOUS that I sing loudly each song in my mispronounced, uninterpreted, "No French Speaking" rendition and never use language as a barrier on my enjoyment of the CD! I recently had a friend, who is fluent in French, translate the CD's lyrics so I could understand the Les Nubians perspective of life, love, social consciousness, pride and history that is recounted to me sweetly and soulfuly in each song making my Afro-French experience completely enjoyable. It's a must have for all Sade, Soul II Soul, Roots, Erykah Badu, Lauryn Hill, Wyclef Jean, Sweetback or Seal fans!!!!!

5.0 out of 5 stars AWESOME!, March 23, 2002

By A Customer

This review is from: Princesses Nubiennes (Audio CD)

This CD is awesome. I'm a big electronica fan and this CD borders on the lines of acid jazz, jazz, and trip-hop. The voices of the duo are smooth and gorgeous and the songs are all so good! I have listened to this CD so many times that it's probably gonna break very soon! This is a great downtempo classic! I can't wait for their next CD!
