Amazon.ca What more could we hope for from the Green Negresses than a big unboxing? these gypsies of joyful music, these gypsies of the laughing bastringue, these children of the road and the party open wide their caravans and their trunks, and throw everything on the square. Twenty snapshots of a ramdam well shaken, of a feverish fair where the guitars and the accordion lead the dance. But the Negresses, despite their bad boy side of the suburbs, have nevertheless always carried modernist "crosses" with them. So they had Trabendo, the 1999 album, tampered with by the electro wizard Howie B. and that's all that we have in our hands with this great unboxing. From the very first single, a true purifying bombinette ("Voilà l'été") to Latin excursions ("Hou Mamma mia", "Sous le soleil de Bodega"), passing through the damning testimonies of their public fantasies (" Orane", "Le Poète"), all the hits are there, as if on parade. A gypsy-Cuban-Arab-Andalusian move that will make you see… green ones – and not ripe ones. --Jose Ruiz
