11.08.73

Description

August 11, 1973. DJ Kool Herc organizes a block party at the foot of his building at 1520 Sedgwick Avenue in the Bronx, New York. History would remember this day as the “birth date” of Hip-Hop culture. 11.08.73 — these six digits became the obvious choice for Marc Nammour to name his fourth album and mark La Canaille’s return to its roots. Surrounded by Jérôme Boivin (bassist of the band Java), drummer Alexis Bossard (drummer for De la Soul in Europe) and Valentin Durup (guitarist for Brigitte and Joseph Chedid), he keeps his fist raised and his words sharp. 11.08.73 features protest tracks ('République', 'Sale boulot'), storytelling ('11.08.73', 'Rôde') and lighter songs like 'Je procrastine' or the luminous 'Jour de fête'. La Canaille gives back their true meaning to the first two letters of Master of Ceremony. With 11.08.73, La Canaille wanted to add its stone to Hip-Hop culture. He shares this celebration of Hip-Hop with the savory swagger of JP Manova, the poetic prose of Lucio Bukowski and the mastery of MikeLadd, a pillar of the U.S. independent rap scene in the late 90s. Kool Herc, aka Clive Campbell, a Jamaican immigrant in 70s New York, drew inspiration from dancehall culture. La Canaille, aka Marc Nammour, son of a Lebanese immigrant, based in Montreuil in Seine-Saint-Denis, inspired by Aimé Césaire and Léo Ferré, delivers his own version 44 years later. Detailed pre-order form with marketing plan and promotion to come. For fans of: Casey, Rocé, Lucio Bukowsky, JP Manova, Virus, etc. Double gatefold vinyl version of the album in a 5mm spine sleeve 11.08.73 by rapper La Canaille. Printed inner sleeves with liner notes and lyrics, download coupon included.
