Résistances

Description

The second album by the band Sinsemilia after the legendary "Première récolte," "Résistances" is the one of their consecration. It was immediately ranked as the 4th best-selling album in its release week, surpassing the heavyweights of French variety with over 50,000 copies sold in the first week, establishing the band beyond the reggae circle. Tracks like "La flamme," "Je préfère 100 fois," and "Fight here" brilliantly blend the band's rock and chanson influences with the reggae sound they cherish. The success of their cover of "La mauvaise réputation" by Brassens takes the band from Grenoble to the most important television shows ("Vivement dimanche" with Michel Drucker, Hit machine, etc.). This cover, along with their hit "Douanier 007," is widely played on French airwaves. Alongside other artists like Tryo and Pierpoljak, Sinsemilia has helped establish what the media would call "the French reggae wave." Certified double gold with over 250,000 copies sold, "Résistances" remains an essential album of this movement to this day.
