Blast from the Past...Early Lionesses: Les Nubians celebrate with Catherine Malandrino at her boutique in New York


Celia Faussart of Les Nubians performs at Catherine Malandrino boutique in NYC

Definitely an unexpected and inlikely pairing! Who would have thought that you would see Celia Faussart (one half of) Les Nubians resurface in the states at designer Catherine Malandrino's boutique of all places. I used to have their CD on repeat in earlier days...good music! Would love to see more of these ladies...

In case you're not familiar Les Nubians are a female duo that came out of Bordeaux, France, in the 1990s, Les Nubians offered a jazzy, sophisticated style of R&B that combined French lyrics with the influence of Sade, Soul II Soul, hip-hop, and African pop. The duo consists of sisters Helene and Celia Faussart, who were born in France to a French father and a Cameroonian mother.

Check out this throwback video of one of their more known songs "Makeda"
