FRENCH BOOGIE 1982-1989 - volume 2 (2 vinyls)

Description

“Success in life is believing in the moment when everything is magic, when you are a giant; success in life is crossing an ocean without knowing why or for whom, off on an adventure, simply.” Bernard Tapie In the 1980s, the French were not afraid to take risks: while some threw themselves headlong into music or business, others even went so far as to take off their tops and then their bottoms to get noticed... If Bernard Tapie quickly understood that his fortune lay more in business, many dreamy music lovers were already imagining themselves under the sun, in an enchanting world made of funky rhythms and synthesizers. A reflection of an era when everything still seemed possible, what Internet now calls French Boogie refers to a synthetic funk with verses sometimes chanted, announcing the imminent arrival of French rap. Associated with post-disco, fed by black music, and sometimes flirting with new wave, this carefree pop with cheeky lyrics has a taste for easy pleasures, showiness, and holidays in the sun. Music in tune with its time, which also glorifies luxury, success, and a certain consumerist way of life embodied in particular by Bernard Tapie.
