Catching world music of the 80’s and 90’s on the wrong foot, not to mention its pop crossovers, the ‘Primitifs du Futur’ decided to do things the other way and feature some real values: the earthy odour of background roots… In World Musette, the third album by the ‘Primitifs du Futur’, accordions, ouds, violins, banjos and ukuleles can be heard in tune with the odd Chinese Waltz or Musette Fox-Trot. This collective adventure led by Dominique Cravic brings musicians and connoisseur-collectors together around the same passion, with just one aim — to restore the music’s prestige — but the result is slightly different: the album World Musette is a new Golden Age for the musette genre.
