Attention le tapis prend feu
With a bandname like Attention le tapis prend feu (Watch it, the rug is on fire) you expect the kooky, uptempo music like this great single by the French duo:
Lubiana
On her second album, ‘Belgo-Camerounaise’ singer and kora-player Lubiana shows her ability to be tender, poignant and danceable. She sings in English, French and Bangwa. She’s an avid jazz-fan (Nina Simone, Sarah Vaughan) but also inspired by 90s R&B divas like Lauryn Hill. And, of course, by the African greats like Toumani Diabate. Terre Rouge refers to the red clay of Cameroon. Love that powerful, yet sweet smokey voice.
