Two idiotic versions of the song „Lambada” by the genial burlesque band Sieur et Dame

and Gregaldur, a guy who improvises on keyboard, guitar and looper and drinks beer simultaneously: La Lambaldur – feat. Charles Trenet. Trenet (1913-2001) was a French singer and songwriter. He had the greatest success between the late 30s and the mid 50s. Self-released split 7″

Sieur et Dame are a French band. They have made one of the best albums of this year. Their music is very special, difficult to define it. In one word: burlesque. In more: here a review about it. They originally were a duo, but recently joined a third member, Jonathan, who recorded and mixed their second album. 3 very simple questions about records >>

What was the first own record in your life? Please write some words about it!

Etienne: „Killers” from Iron Maiden, a great record that I still uphold.
Claire: „History” from Michael Jackson. I was a great fan. There was everything on it. (It’s a double album. Second part.)
Jonathan: „Schizophrenia” from Sepultura that I had on CD with my first sort of ghetto blaster.

What record made the biggest influence on you?

Etienne: „Let in the Light” from Shannon Wright. (She is an American singer-songwriter.)
Claire: „Mahler’s Symphony n°2” directed by Wilhelm Furtwängler. (Sorry, but I couldn’t find it from Furtwängler. It’s conducted by Claudio Abbado.)
Jonathan: „In Utero” from Nirvana.

What was the last record that you heard?

Etienne: „420m3 – 37’14” from Chausse Trappe.
Claire: „1st Ep” from Le Feu. (It’s Jonathan’s band)
Jonathan: „Monstre Né” from Birds Are Alive.

Some thoughts about Sieur et Dame – Amour et Papouasie (Love and Papua) album by Kythibong Records

Hey Sieur et Dame! Million merci for your new album. It is the best, most interesting and most peculiar record of recent years for me. When I got it, I listened to it three times in succession, and was flabbergasted. Oh my God! What is it? And it is a difficult question. Such like a renaissance market-place knock-about farce or an opera-buffa, or something musical Commedia dell’arte. Starring an angel and a gnome, aka the Beauty and the Beast. And they slip into different costumes as the comedy require. And there mixing the ecclesiastical and the popular secular music of the renaissance and baroque era: the Italian origin frottola, canzonetta and madrigal, flamenco and medieval rhythms like tarantella. Plus hip-hop. It’s sometimes so much polyphonic as if there two different bands would play side by side. Exceedingly surreal.

Maybe the best Kythibong Records release ever:

Claire and Etienne were lovers. Claire got strict Catholic education, studied lyrical singing and works in a national choir, speaking fluent ancient Latin and collecting roadkilled frogs. Etienne is a ferocious self-taught musician. He started his musical career as a drummer of a Berber music band at the age of 15. While Claire joined a Palestine music group at 18.  After various genres, styles, groups and collaborations they have founded Sieur et Dame in 2006.

I hope their little travelling circus to start eastward soon.
