"We use rhymes, but we aren't rappers," says Claude Sicre of the Fabulous Trobadors. "We play music from Brazil, but we don't do world music. We sing French, but we don't do chansons. We're complete outsiders." That may be why the Fabulous Trobadors are so popular in their French homeland. In 1982, far from Paris, in the Provencal city of Toulouse, The two musicians joined up to carry on the tradition of South French, Occitan culture and defend it against centralism. Their music is a synthesis of Provencal folk music, Brazilian rhythms and reggae elements that form the basis for their rapid vocals.
