Description
French-Cameroonian sisters Hélène and Célia Faussart created an international sensation with the 1998 release of Princesses Nubiennes, their debut CD. The duo’s sophisticated, alluring mélange of Afro-pop, bass ’n’ drums, electronica, hip-hop, and jazz influences has helped make them the most successful French-language act in the U.S. in more than a decade. They received a 2004 Grammy nomination in the Best Urban Alternative R&B category, along with Erykah Badu, Outkast, and Kelis, and have collaborated with the Black Eyed Peas, DJ Krush, Talib Kweli, and Youssou N’Dour. The mesmerizing “Afropean” music of Les Nubians comes to Yoshi’s for two nights only—tickets will go fast!
