Les Nubians
Concert at World Beat Center
Dec. 6th, 8:30pm, 21 over, $15/person
The time since their 1999 U.S. debut 'Princesses Nubiennes' (Higher Octave/Virgin)
became the most successful French-language album in more than a decade of Billboard
charts, Les Nubians' singing sisters have traveled the world, soaking up the sounds
of reggae, afro-beat, pop and electronica while collaborating with a host of
respected musicians. Everywhere we went, we looked for music that spoke of the
local culture says Helene. The sisters met and worked with traditional folk
musicians, as well as artists at the apex of every genre from Afro-jazz to British
breakbeat to Cameroonian hip hop. In addition to working on their own material, Les
Nubians appeared on 14 different recordings by an assortment of other artists,
spanning the globe and crossing genres - from Towa Tei, Black Eyed Peas and Talib
Kweli & Hi-Tek to the acclaimed Red Hot series on
