Comparsa

With Comparsa Deep Forest once again reinvented themselves with a joyous rhythmic sound from Central America and Madagascar. Michel traveled to Cuba to record the street musicians (known as a comparsa, also means partner) and meet new artists, while Eric flew to Madagascar.

The third album returned to the rhythm and dance of the debut release but with a much more elborate weave of textures and instruments, and plenty of accordian. The project became even more of a live thing, with a long list of guests including Wes Madiko, Ana Torroja, Abed Azrié, Jorge Reyes, Gilles Cagin, Joe Zawinul.

Comparsa sold 500,000 copies, and was released around the world including in Japan.
