Our Take

Les Negresses Vertes may have a name that's a bit of a tongue twister, but their music is anything but hard to swallow. "C'est Pas La Mer A Boire" is a delightful blend of French chanson, gypsy jazz, and punk rock, creating a sound that is as eclectic as it is infectious.

From the moment the accordion kicks in on the opening track, you know you're in for a wild ride. The band's energy is palpable, with each member bringing their own unique flair to the table. The result is a cacophony of sounds that somehow manages to blend seamlessly together.

The lyrics, mostly in French, touch on themes of love, loss, and everything in between. While you may not understand every word, the emotion behind the music is universal. Whether it's the melancholic strains of "Voila L'ete" or the infectious energy of "La Valse," each track is a journey in its own right.

While some may dismiss Les Negresses Vertes as a novelty act, those in the know understand the true brilliance of their music. "C'est Pas La Mer A Boire" is a testament to the band's talent and creativity, and a must-listen for any music lover looking to expand their horizons. So pour yourself a glass of wine, sit back, and let Les Negresses Vertes take you on a musical journey unlike any other. Cheers!

About the artist

Les Negresses Vertes

Les Negresses Vertes are a French band that couldn't be more quintessentially French if they tried. With their eclectic mix of punk, rock, reggae, and traditional French chanson, these quirky troubadours have been captivating audiences since the late 1980s. Hailing from the Parisian suburb of Saint-Denis, Les Negresses Vertes burst onto the scene in 1988 with their debut album "Mlah." The band's infectious energy, catchy melodies, and charismatic frontman Helno quickly caught the attention of fans and critics alike. Helno's unmistakable raspy voice and theatrical stage presence helped set Les Negresses Vertes apart from their contemporaries. Known for their fiery live shows and eclectic instrumentation, including accordion, saxophone, and violin, the band created a sound that was both energetic and heartfelt. Their sophomore album, "Famille Nombreuse," further solidified their reputation as one of France's most innovative and exciting bands. With tracks like "C'est Pas la Mer a Boire" and "Voila l'Ete," Les Negresses Vertes proved that they were more than just a one-hit wonder. Despite their success in France, Les Negresses Vertes never quite broke through internationally. But for those in the know, their music remains a hidden gem waiting to be discovered. With their infectious rhythms, playful lyrics, and irreverent attitude, Les Negresses Vertes are a band that deserves to be remembered. So dust off your beret, grab a glass of red wine, and let the sounds of Les Negresses Vertes transport you to the streets of Paris. Santé!
