Les Nubians - Les Nubians Presents Echos, Chapter One (Audio CD - 2005) [Import]

Les Nubians have carved out a name for themselves as the sexy soul sisters with a thirst for jazz grooves and hip-hop beats. But the Faussart girls are switching gears on their third album, creating a 21-track aural excursion filled with rich array of guest poets reading, rapping and slamming in English and French. The verbosity means there is less focus on Helene and Celia's beautiful Afro-pean voices and harmonies, not to mention their bumpin' grooves, but the poets¹ stories are vivid. Echos isn't really follow up to the two previous albums. It's more of a response to HBO' s Mos Def-hosted Def Poetry Jam and the countless other poets out there performing. Here it's simply channeled through the unique and musical aesthetic of the French-Cameroonian sisters.
Condition: NEW.
