Paris March 2002
Paris by night wouldn't be the same without him ! Remy Kolpa Kopoul, aka RKK, a musical mine of information and anecdotes, former music journalist for the newspaper Libération and editor of Radio Nova, would rather be referred to as 'ConneXioneur', a natural go-between responsible for many a match made in heaven. As Paris celebrates its Latino style, we invite you to pop open a bottle of Champagne in his company as he colourfully recounts the story of Latin music in France.
All extracts are taken from the compilation "Mambo domingo".
Who is RKK ? Extract : "El barbaro del ritmo" Beny More
The very first breeding grounds, the Chapelle des Lombards and Azuquita's arrival in Paris. Extract : "El Cayuco" Tito Puente
A French affair every other ten years. Extract : "Quand elle danse" Dario Moreno
Salsa in the seventies. Extract : "Tequila" Cortijo y su combo
The end of rock's reign and the Latino gets good press. Extract : "Los feos de la cocina" Cuban Big Band
