Creole and the Coconuts
1982, "Stool Pigeon" et "Annie,
I'm Not Your Daddy" lancent KC en orbite ! 1985 : Endicott,
cartone au Top 50. Kid, c'est le roi d'un latino-funk unique,
qui rapprochera les fans de Prince et les fans d'une latino-pop
guillerette.>
Kid Creole est né à Montréal en 1951,
d'une mère canadienne et d'un père originaire
de Trinidad. August Darnell, alias Kid Creole, grandit dans
le Bronx avant de devenir professeur d'art dramatique.
Capable de combiner des touches de reggae, de ska, de swing,
de jazz, de salsa, de soul, de dance, de rap, ou de rock,
Kid Creole est un "ambianceur" hors paire. Hédoniste,
il aime se faire plaisir, fait ce qu'il aime, et on aime
se qu'il fait! Le groupe a tourné dans le monde entier,
réalisé plus de 18 albums et d'innombrables
singles depuis 1981. Il a fait la première partie
de Talking Heads et B'52 et joué pour certains présidents
américains, notamment George Bush en 1989 et Bill
Clinton, plus en 1993.
Depuis, Kid Creole and The Coconuts se produit toujours
à travers le monde, y compris pour des festivals.
Le groupe constitue également un important réservoir
et un tremplin pour de nombreux artistes dont Brian Setzer,
Big bad Voodoo Daddy, mais aussi Lou Bega qui s'est depuis
distingué en solo avec son tube "Mambo n°
5". Un genre indémodable, un style unique, un
talent désormais reconnu par tous, y compris par
Prince, puisque ce dernier compose pour lui "The Sex
Of it" en 1990.
1982, "Stool Pigeon"
and "Annie, I'm Not Your Daddy" launches KC
in orbit! 1985: "Endicott", hit the french Top
50. Kid Creole is the king of a unique latino-funk, that
will unites Prince fans and solid latino-pop music listeners.
Kid Creole is born to Montréal in 1951, a Canadian
mother and a father from Trinidad. August Darnell, alias
Kid Creole, grows in the Bronx before he becomes a professor
of dramatic art.
Abble to combine reggae, ska, swing, jazz, salsa, soul,
dance, rap, or rock, Kid Creole is an "entertainer".
Good man, he likes to give pleasure to the crowds, and
almost everybody likes his music! The group has toured
in the whole world, realized 18 albums and +5 hits singles
since 1981. KC & TCC has made the first part of the
Talking Heads and B 52's concerts and played for some
american presidents, notably George Bush in 1989 and Bill

throughout the world, including for festivals. The band
equally constitutes an important springboard for many
artists like Brian Setzer, Big bad Voodoo Daddy, but also
Lou Bega who distinguished in solo with his worldwide
mega hit "Mambo n 5". A unique style, a talent
recognized by many professionals, including Prince, who
composed for him "The Sex Of it" in 1990, a
very Kid Creolish funky tune!

à Prince "vous manquez un chance de voir une
fille péter la baraque au saxophone". Deux jours

After opening for Madonna, Candy starts up a new, more professional

Funky Stuff is scheduled to perform as a support act for
Prince. At the last minute, Prince cancels the support act
for his three shows in The Netherlands. Candy is furious.

chance to see a girl 'play her ass off on the saxophone".

with him in the States. Then, Candy records saxophone parts

Maceo
Parker
Macéo,
un des plus grands pionnier du funk, est né à
Kinston, en Caroline du nord, 1943. Son père
jouait du piano et de la batterie, et sa mère
chantait à l'église. Encore un adolescent,
Maceo décida de jouer du saxophone…<br>L'oncle
de Maceo format un groupe appellé "Bobby
Bobby Butler and the Mighty Blue Note", qui servie
de modèle à Macéo et ses
frères, qui formèrent à
leur tour leur propre groupe appellé les "Blue
Note Junior"s. Son oncle les enmmenait dans les
nightclubs et Maceo et ses 2 frères jouaient
durant les entractes. Une fois diplomés, les trois
frères purent enfin se libérer de leur
démon musial…<br> "Maceo!
Explose ta corne!" (dixit James Brown)…
Maceo Parker ne laissa jamais tomber son patron, James
Brown. Son jeu pour les tubes légendaires de JB,
"Papa's Gota Brand New Bag" et "Cold
Sweat" ont propulsé Macéo au sommet
de la gloire Soul-funk. Ses récents albums "Roots
Revisited"et "Mo Roots" illuminent
impeccablement son âme d'un alto sax sur
un mélange de funk hybride, de R& B et
de jazz. Il s'entoure de hautes pointures : Fred Wesley
et Pee Wee Ellis.
En 1970 , Maceo forme "Maceo and All the King's
Men" puis travaille avec les rois du P-Funk :
Parlement / Funkadelic et Bootsy's Rubber Band. Même
quand JB est incarcéré,
Macéo soutient le "Parrain de la Soul",
alors casé dans la rubrique faits-divers…
En 1990 l'album "'Roots Revisited" cartonne
au Billboard Jazz pendant deux mois. Nommé' Meilleur
Artiste De jazz De L'année' par Rolling Stone magazine,
l'album de la renaissance médiatique, "Macéo"
est produit en 1999 par Prince, dans lequel Macéo
reprend "The Greatest Romance Ever Been Sold"
de l'Artiste. De concerts en festivals, le papy du Soul-funk
sur-puissant continue de faire rouller sa bosse, le plus
souvent en compagnie de Prince.
Born in Kinston, North Carolina,
in 1943, His father played piano and drums and sang in
church, and his mother sang in the church. They both could
dance and keep up with the latest thing happening. Still
a teenager, Maceo decided to play saxophone, <br>The
Parker's uncle had a band called Bobby Butler and the
Mighty Blue Notes, which served as a role model when the
Parker brothers formed their own band called the Blue
Note Juniors. HIs uncle would take him to nightclubs and
Maceo and his 2 brothers played during intermissions.
By the time the Parker brothers graduated high school
and began attending college at North Carolina A&T
(majoring in music) they were seasoned professionals in
performing and entertaining."Maceo! Blow your
horn!". Maceo Parker never once let his boss
down. Parker's jabbing workouts in the midst of "Papa's
Got a Brand New Bag" and "Cold Sweat"
made him a household name among '60s funk fans. Now Parker
is a star in his
own right. His recent albums "Roots Revisited"
and "Molina product quit Brown " Roots"
impeccably spotlight his soul-drenched alto sax on a sizzling
hybrid of funk, R&B and jazz. And he's brought
along his ex-section mates from Brown's band trombonist
Fred Wesley and saxist Pee Wee Ellis, to stoke the almighty
groove. The North Caroseveral times. Along with his bandmates,
Parker mutinied in 1970 to form Maceo and All the King's
Men, only to return to the fold three years later; later
in the decade, he worked with Parliament/Funkadelic and
Bootsy's Rubber Band. But when Brown was incarcerated,
Parker was there for him, releasing a rap song that urged
the Godfather of Soul's immediate freedom. In 1990 the
album 'Roots Revisited' topped the Billboard Jazz Chart
for two months. In addition Parker was named 'Best Jazz
Artist Of The Year' by Rolling Stone magazine. Recently
Parker's latest album 'Maceo' was released, produced by
Prince, from whom he replayed "The Greatest Romance
Ever Been Sold". Since, Maceo is one of Prince's
favorite saxophonist for his concert.
