Our Take

Les Negresses Vertes, the French band known for their eclectic mix of punk, reggae, and traditional French chanson, have curated a "Best Of" collection titled Toujours L'ete that proves why they are still relevant in the music scene today.

From the infectious accordion melodies in "Sous le Soleil de Bodega" to the punk-infused energy of "Voila l'Ete," this album is a rollercoaster of emotions that will have you dancing one minute and contemplating life's mysteries the next. The band's distinct sound, filled with raw energy and unapologetic lyrics, is truly one of a kind.

Tracks like "Zobi la Mouche" and "C'est Pas la Mer a Boire" showcase the band's ability to seamlessly blend different genres while still maintaining their signature style. The catchy hooks and relatable lyrics make it easy to see why Les Negresses Vertes have such a devoted fanbase.

While some may argue that a "Best Of" album is just a cash grab, Toujours L'ete proves that the band's music stands the test of time and continues to resonate with listeners. So grab a glass of wine, put on your dancing shoes, and let Les Negresses Vertes take you on a musical journey that you won't soon forget. Cheers to summer, cheers to life, and cheers to this fantastic collection of hits.

About the artist

Les Négresses 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!
