Biography

Pierre Job known professionnally as Hector Zazou (11 July 1948 – 8 September 2008) was a French composer, arranger and record producer who collaborated with an international array of singers, inviting the likes of John Cale, Laurie Anderson, Siouxsie Sioux, Ryuichi Sakamoto, Jane Siberry, Björk, David Sylvian and Suzanne Vega. His collaboration with singer Bibaye on 1983's album Noir et blanc fused African music with electronica. He kept on exploring and mixing music genres with world music through his solo projects: his 1994 album Songs from the Cold Seas was critically acclaimed and garnered media attention in the US upon release.
