Moving back to Bordeaux France they started singing a cappella. This is their first release from 1998. A good CD with a mix of Jazz, Soul, Funk, Hip-Hop and West African music. Really enjoyed listening to this CD. Great singing and playing with a little electronics here and there and lots of hand drumming. The songs are in French with lyrics printed in the CD booklet. I try to translate some of it with my four years of high school French, but have forgotten a lot. I know most pronouns and prepositions and some nouns and verbs but that&#8217;s about it. Comparisons can be made to Sade or Soul II Soul and in fact they cover a Sade song &#8220;Sweetest Tabou&#8221; sung in French with a break for some rapping in French. &#8220;Demain&#8221; is a nice Jazzy number. &#8220;Makeda&#8221;, with some scratching and flute, was a hit on U.S. R &amp; B charts. The title track is also another good one as is &#8220;Voyager&#8221;. &#8220;Sugar Cane&#8221;, the only song sung in English, deals with slaves picking cotton. There are three short a cappella songs. The album got a well deserved Grammy nomination in &#8217;99.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Sisters Celia and Helene Faussart were born in France but grew up in French speaking Chad in Africa.
