LIZZY MERCIER DESCLOUX - Zulu Rock (Remastered Vinyl LP*, 2016) **NEW**
Review from another site: Digitally remastered edition of this album from the genre-hopping French artist. In the course of three albums, Lizzy Mercier Descloux, the rogue poet, artist, and singer-songwriter, traveled on a musical voyage from Manhattan (1979 debut Press Color) to The Bahamas (1981 follow-up Mambo Nassau) and apartheid South Africa (1984's Zulu Rock) - a controversial cultural boycott in protest of the nation's racially divided society. One place Descloux had never visited was the pop charts, but that changed when "Mais Où Sont Passées Les Gazelles? (Where Have The Gazelles Gone?)" - a reworking of a South African Shangaan disco hit - went all the way to the top spot in her native France, giving her a platform and a profile in the land she'd fled many years before. Recorded at Satbel Studios in Johannesburg, the album followed what her mentor Michel Esteban describes as "an extraordinary adventure" through eastern Africa following the footsteps of 19th century poet Rimbaud through Sudan, Ethiopia, the East Coast.
* NOTE: eBay's "stock" item description notwithstanding, this is a limited edition remastered single vinyl LP pressing including a digital download that contains the full album and five bonus tracks, plus an essay by “Punk Professor” Vivien Goldman, interviewing key players.
