Les Nubians May 15, 2008

Les Nubians, comprising sisters Helene and Celia Faussart are taking their sophisticated brand of R&B across the continent. Their 2003 effort 'One Step Forward' was recorded in Jamaica, Cameroon, London and Paris with a wide array of musicians, including legendary African saxophonist Manu Dibango and underground hip-hop star Talib Kweli. The group's first release, 'Princesses Nubiennes,' was a worldwide hit, selling more units in America than any other foreign-language album of the !90s.
