Many will welcome the appearance in Budapest of some genuine hip hop music and dance from the French suburbs. The Compagnie Les Black Blanc Beur was formed in 1984 by Doctor Jean Djemad, who went to Saint-Quentin-en-Yvelines council to initiate a project for the disaffected local youth. The result was this dance troupe, who will be performing two pieces – ‘Lamberena’ and ‘Wartane’ – choreographed by Christine Coudun, in time to their own music. The music has influences from Gabon and JS Bach, the dance from Senegal.
