Noir et Blanc

An unsurpassed milestone in electro/African fusion, this is a head-on collision between traditional Central African vocals and uncompromising analog electronics.

“One of the most innovative LPs of the year... in the same class as Byrne and Eno’s “Bush Of Ghosts”... resembles the startling outcome of an imaginary collaboration between DAF and Fela Kuti” (Melody Maker, UK, ‘83)

“Fela Kuti-meets-Kraftwerk-on-the-dancefloor” (International Musician, USA, ‘86)
