065° BEL BIGUINE LA - selected by Les Mains Noires


"At last! At last a new French West Indies compilation! And not the least! We are very happy and quite proud to present 'Bel Biguine La', a special selection focusing on rare early Biguine dirty recordings from Guadeloupe and Martinique from late 50s and 60s! 12 rare tracks accompanied by liner notes about the songs, the musicians and the incredible Disques Emeraude, very first record label to record Guadeloupian music in Guadeloupe and run by Robert Mavounzy’s brother, Marcel Mavounzy. ... Until the early 50s, all the creole records were produced and recorded in Paris by majors like Columbia, Pathé-Marconi, Odeon, etc. The musicians were, between others, Sam Castendet, Eugène Delouche, Alexandre Stellio, Al Lirvat. Honoré Coppet track and the other from his brother Barrel Coppet are perfect example of those metropolitan recordings even if they are from late 50s and early 60s. ..."
