This Bandcamp Friday's shopping list had been long enough before. But when I noticed M. Foujita, whose huge and versatile collection contains many many gems, bought a whole bunch of these compilations, I had to check what these French compilations are about. Well, they are about Frenchies playing world music and I liked every song I clicked on :-)
As the list was that full, I only bought this one, mais je veux bien retourner! Carsten Pieper
