Moussu T e lei Jovents
Mademoiselle Marseille (Chant du Monde)
17.99
Tatou and Blu of the Massilia Sound System join Brazilian percussionist Jamilson to explore the city of Marseilles, circa 1930. Provençal songs sit side by side with Vincent Scotto operettas, jazz, blues, Latin and Caribbean dance music, evoking the coastline from Marseille to La Ciotat. This is unique French music, a rough-hewn acoustic sound, augmented by clever electronics, samples and audio archival snippets, all to create a psuedo-historical documentary that might be more true than the real thing. Highly Recommended.
