About
Mambo Nassau is the second studio album by French singer Lizzy Mercier Descloux. It was released on ZE Records in 1981 and recorded at the Compass Point Studios in Nassau, Bahama. "After Mambo Nassau in 1982, Lizzy wanted to go to South Africa and record with musicians from Soweto. South Africa was still under apartheid, so in order to persuade the record company, Lizzy recorded in Paris a couple of songs inspired by South African music. "Mister Soweto", "Maita", and "Les Baisers d’Amants" came from these session, which included orphan song, griots' ballad, African roller coaster produced by Adam Kidron (who just had produced Rip Rig + Panic and Scritti Politti) with guests Krootchey on vocals and Mike Mc Voy as a white master rabbit, Green Gartside (Scritti Politti) & Aswad drummer OEs Drummie Zeb. "Bob Marley’s cover « Sun is Shining » was recorded in 1995 at Massachusetts’s Bear Den studio with Greg Jiritano, John Schumann, and Michel Bassignani: Kusturica dub in mind. "Corpo Molli, Pao Duro" was recorded in NY with Arto Lindsay and Krootchey back in 1980 and developed in August 2003 with Charlus De Lasalle, orgy of the percussive mouth, Brazilian meet Klezmer and have a ball.
