Customer Rating:      Summary: Good mix of cultures Comment: I am biased - Paris Combo is one of my favorite bands. The music is eclectic and upbeat.
It is a great CD to try to learn some French slang and some songs are slow enough to follow and learn by heart.
I personally used Paris combo songs to practice my French.
I strongly recommend this CD to those that like other bands such as Pink Martini.
Customer Rating:      Summary: between swing and flamenco Comment: It is a great fusion of various flavors, and as a result it is unexpected and entertaining all the way through.
Customer Rating:      Summary: Dan Hicks if he had grown up on flamenco, gypsy, Hot Club Comment: Excellent! An updated European version of Dan Hicks, drawing on flamenco, gypsy, and Arabic strains rather than American roots to complement their Hot Club/cabaret. Exceptionally clean and crisp, to the point of irony. Stand-outs: tr 8-Sous la lune (sexy melancholy, deeply engaging, brooding). tr 9-L'Avenir incertain du Titanic (dark, spiky tango)
Customer Rating:      Summary: The best album I own Comment: .
Admittedly, I'm not a music aficionado, but of the few dozen albums I own, this one far outshines the others. This is modern music at its best, a sensual melange of jazz, Latin, gypsy, cabaret, and North African/Arabic music.
Every Paris Combo output is simply a collection of brilliant artistry, but this one will be remembered most favourably by history.
