I won’t start hyping my blog, as it will function as a site where you can download out of print records, classic albums and other forgotten gems.
Without further ado, I’d like to bring out the first record..
The Yamasuki Singers – Le Monde Fabuleux Des Yamasuki
The french power-duo of the 70’s, Daniel Vangarde & Jean Kluger, joined forces in 1971 and made the album “Le Monde Fabuleux Des Yamasuki” under the moniker Yamasuki aka The Yamasuki Singers.
A japanese concept album, consisting of pop songs with funky drumbreaks, heavy basslines and japanese vocals sung by french school children.
Today the record is highly sought after, as the album in its entirety is incredible sample-materiale!
The second track on the record, Kono Samurai, was sampled in 2008 by Otis Jackson Jr. aka Madlib for Erykah Badu’s fourth studio-album; “New Amerykah Part One (World War 4)”.
Fun fact: Daniel Vangarde, who is behind The Yamasuki Singers, is the father of Thomas Bangalter, who is known for being 50% of the group “Daft Punk”.
