Catalog #:	FA 502CD

"These tracks were recorded between 1971 and 1975 by Manu Dibango for professional sound illustration for the cinema, television or advertising. They have never been released on disc and are therefore exclusive. Unfortunately, information is missing but Dibango remembers that his Parisian band then comprised Jacques Bolognesi, Ivan Julien, François Jeanneau and Slim Pezin. On the sides cut in New York, we can appreciate prestigious guests such as Buster Williams and Cedar Walton ('Lea's Love Theme') and even Tony Williams."

Format:	CD
Price:	$19.00
Catalog #:	FA 523CD

"The music Manu Dibango is known for its alchemy of jazz, African and Jamaican music, gospel and R&B. His unique style was the forerunner of what we now call 'world music.' Dibango is perhaps best remembered for his 1972 Afrobeat single 'Soul Makossa,' often considered the first disco record. This new best-of collection from Frémeaux features twelve tracks released between 1978 and 1989, including the 1978 Kingston remix of 'Reggae Makossa.' Guest artists include Michael and Randy Brecker, Sly Dunbar and Robbie Shakespeare."

Title:	Album d'Or De La Biguine
Label:	FREMEAUX & ASSOCIES (FRANCE)
Format:	CD
Price:	$19.00
Catalog #:	FA 5259CD

"Frémeaux's Album d'Or de la Biguine has had considerable success throughout the Caribbean thanks to its selection of dance music from Guadeloupe. Its recordings of this important folkloric heritage used sixties and early seventies era studio technology that was quite superior to the material used to produce the 78's of previous decades. As a result, the record has already become a cult Biguine album for a new generation."

Artist:	LES PRIMITIFS DU FUTUR
Title:	Trop De Routes, Trop De Trains
Label:	FREMEAUX & ASSOCIES (FRANCE)
Format:	CD
Price:	$19.00
Catalog #:	LLL 247CD

"Legendary underground cartoonist Robert Crumb and guitarist Dominique Cravic founded Les Primitifs du Futur in 1986 craving real Parisian musette instead of poor imitations heard in variety shows. Sounding like they've stepped right out of the '30s, the members of Les Primitifs du Futur brilliantly blend world musette and Django-style guitar into old-fashioned originals. With their three albums, including Trop de Routes, Trop de Trains, the band remains at the forefront of the renaissance of 'chanson française' manifestly occurring in France today." Includes 24-page booklet with photos of the performers and Crumb artwork.
