Zazou,Bikaye / Cy 1 - Noir Et Blanc - COMPACT DISCS [CD]

An unsurpassed milestone in European/African fusion, this is a head-on collision between traditional Central African vocals and uncompromising analog electronics. Resulting from a torrid encounter between Zairean singer Bony Bikaye, Algerian-born French composer Hector Zazou and mad scientists CY1, this album was acclaimed by the international press, has influenced scores of artists and remains astonishingly fresh. Guest musicians include Marc Hollander and Fred Frith. Originally released in 1983, this reissue is packaged in a slipcase. Crammed Discs.
