Massilia Sound System [as Bouteille sur bouteille on a foundation of Bob Marley's Natural Mystic]
Field recording of the French (blind) Alan Lomax: Daniel Loddo of the Centre d'Etudes Occitanes in Cordes (Tarn). Massilia once mixed a CD on Loddo's folk group La Talvera. They were thanked with a dinner, where they heard Occitan singer Trébosc. His storybook farewell song kept spooking while they drove back home that night with a cassette of Exodus blasting through their Deux Chevaux. The marriage fits their mix-up philosophy well. "La preuve qu'avec une chanson de grand-père on peut faire danser les jeunes et qu'une chanson de grand-père ça peut très bien se marier avec une musique de Bob Marley." - Tatou of Massilia Sound System.
