Reivax Au Bongo

In this dreamy aural movie set in an ficticious African country, imaginative French composer Hector Zazou has confronted three prominent singers/musicians from Congo (Bony Bikaye, Kanda Bongo Man and Ray Lema) with fifteen classical musicians & vocalists as well as his own electronic textures. A blueprint for Zazou’s later masterpieces such as ‘Sahara Blue’ (which featured the likes of Ryuichi Sakamoto, Gérard Depardieu, John Cale, Khaled etc) and ‘Songs From The Cold Seas’ (with Björk & Suzanne Vega). “Reivax” is supposed to be the soundtrack for a photo-novel by Zazou and renowned photographer Xavier Lambours, who plays the title role. The photo-novel really exists: it is included in the CD booklet... Hector Zazou has released around ten albums on Crammed (including 3 with the Zazou Bikaye project).
