Biography
French composer and producer Hector Zazou, born Pierre Job in Algeria, pioneered cross-cultural concept albums that married folk traditions to electronics and ambient sound. From the Satie-influenced duo *ZNR* and the Afro-electronic *Zazou Bikaye*, he moved to acclaimed solo works on #Crammed Discs# including 'Sahara Blue' and 'Chansons des mers froides', assembling singers and players from across pop, folk, world and classical music. He died in Paris in 2008, shortly before his final album appeared.
