ALBUM REVIEW
Toubabou was formed in 1974 when percussionist Michel Séguin and vocalist Lise Cousineau, founding members of Ville Emard Blues Band (VEBB), were asked by the Québec government to organize the final concert of the Superfrancofête youth festival. Others VEBB members completed the group, including Robert Stanley (guitar), Michel Dion (bass), Yvan Ouellet (keyboards), and Denis Farmer (drums). On August 24, 1974 this event was recorded on two-track reel-to-reel tape before 55,000 spectators. .From these tapes, Toubabou released a live album in November of that year, entitled "Le Blé et le Mil". A highlight is the opening track "Oasis", a sublime 10-minute voyage skillfully navigating between '70s cool jazz and FM radio rock. In October of the following year, Toubabou released a studio album called "Attente", showcasing a unique style of progressive funk-rock with an emphasis on African percussions.
