Album lore

France chébran: French Boogie (1980–1985) assembles sixteen tracks from a brief but fertile chapter of French boogie, issued by Born Bad Records in 2015. The compilation mines the period’s domestic funk and dance-floor grooves, where local artists interpreted the global boogie idiom with a distinctly Gallic flair. Among the selections are titles such as "Salut Les Salauds" and "Playboy en détresse," evoking the era’s urban nightlife and colloquial lyricism.The featured track, "Les crabes," is emblematic of this underground scene’s rhythmic inventiveness and studio craft. Though relatively obscure outside France, these grooves have garnered a modest following, as indicated by their Last.fm presence. This record offers an archival signal for collectors and DJs who seek the particular resonance of early ’80s French funk, a niche yet compelling fragment of the wider boogie lineage.
