Fred Chichin, des Rita Mitsouko, est mort
Fred Chichin est né à Clichy en 1954. Ses parents, d’origine italienne et communistes militants lui apprennent le goût de l’indépendance et de la liberté. Son père avait créé dans les années 1960 la revue «Miroir du cinéma».
Chichin participe à plusieurs groupes underground, rock ou punk à la fin des années 1970. C’est alors qu’il rencontre Catherine Ringer, avec qui il décide de fonder un groupe en 1979. Ce sera d’abord les Spratz avant de devenir Rita Mitsouko. «Rita» avait été choisi pour ses consonances sud-américaines et «Mitsouko» signifie mystère en japonais.
Leur premier album, paru en 1984, contient la chanson qui les propulse sur le devant de la scène: «Marcia baila», morceau latino-rock qui rend hommage à la danseuse argentine Marcia Moretto, décédée d’un cancer. La chanson se vend à plus d’un million d’exemplaires et est le premier tube d’une longue série. La musique des Rita Mitsouko est métissée et mêle des influences rock, funk, punk, ska, sud-américaines, ainsi qu’un solide sens de l’humour.
Le duo avait enregistré un total de 11 albums studios, dont «Variéty», qui était également sorti en version anglaise.

| Ladysmith Black Mambazo's chorus of powerful harmonies emote the struggles and passion of South Africa. The warmth and charisma of founder and composer Joseph Shabalala, a man who has survived apartheid with his spirit whole, shines through Mambazo's music – their captivating Zulu harmonies are a proud, strong homage to the jubilance, power and beauty of indigenous music. Their music explores issues of racism, fair trade and politics among others. After they employed their music to celebrate the end of the apartheid era, Nelson Mandela publicly called Ladysmith "South Africa's cultural ambassadors", following his release from prison. The group sings a capella isicathamiya and mbube music – loud, powerful choruses contrast with softer, almost whispering chants where voices blend harmoniously, combined with tightly-choreographed dance moves that keep the singers on their toes.
"Truly great singing…balancing soulful ballads and traditional dance songs with exquisite and perfectly timed harmony work…" The Guardian |
