Amazing! I was in Paris for 2 days about 5 years ago. There was a strike
going on so the trains were running on a limited schedule...that should
narrow it down at least a little. ;) I heard snips of a song on the French
equivalent of MTV (Pub TV??) with the words "bouge de la" repeated.
Back in the US, none of my friends had ever heard of it (what did I expect)
and none of my French speaking acquaintences knew what "bouge de la" meant.
Since then I've listened MC Solaar on Jazzmatazz (1) and Prose Combat and
gotten into it without making the connection that this was the same artist
I'd heard in Paris.
Have a great weekend!
