Search - Areski & Brigitte Fontaine :: Je Ne Connais Pas Cet Homme

I Do Not Know This Man is a 15 track album made in 1973 by Frenchwoman Brigitte Fontaine and her Algerian husband/collaborator Areski Belkacem, who have worked together on and off since the late '60s. In the course of her 30-year career, Brigitte Fontaine has consistently defied critics' attempts to pigeon-hole her. This talented singer, writer and actress has been hailed as a 'surrealist diva', an 'avant-garde thespian', an 'eccentric poet'. Fontaine has proved herself to be a multi-talented star, writing novels and staging avant-garde theatre projects as well as continuing to work on her albums. The thread running through all the singer's disparate works is writing - and Fontaine has certainly shown herself to be a brilliant and passionate wordsmith. Saravah. 2005.
