IMAGINE THE ROOTS SINGING IN FRENCH!! Having already been aired on a few Chocolate Fireguard compilations and according to some magazines literally stealing the show, Chocolate Fireguard release the hotly anticipated debut album "Vu Du Large" from this amazing live seven piece French hip hop unit.La Cedille (also known as Ça) "bring together North African and French influences with hiphop and a brass section to create their very own sound" (Music Week). The album features two outstanding collaborations with The Bluefoot Project"s diva Rachel Modest and a vinyl sampler is also available. "Jazzmatic!" says IDJ magazine. Indeed!La Cedille hail from Besançon in France. Their sound has been likened in the French media to that of The Roots and Opus Akhoben and have been described as "distinct and remarkable individuals who, in concert, become one innovative and explosive entity."Despite their energetic stage show they have made a positive effort to distance themselves from the infighting and rivalry that has become part of the French hip-hop scene in recent years. Their message, which is reinforced by their lyrics, promotes unity and cohesion amongst hip-hop lovers, encouraging them to focus on the factors that are common to all in the greater human struggle!Their songs reflect the African heritage of the band"s two front men. The description of the meeting of these two cultures in the bands rapid fire hip-hop style yet smooth tones of the French language makes for a unique experience. The band haven"t forgotten either their French heritage, with a distinctly jazzy feel to their songs which incorporate a brass-section featuring trombone and saxophone.
