********************
Josephine Baker made one record with the famous German COMEDIAN HARMONISTS a-capella group on September 29, 1935 for French Columbia.
Pre-War PARIS MEETS Pre-War BERLIN
The record includes a cover version from Baker's freshly released hit movie Princess Tam Tam: Sous le Ciel d' Afrique. Eliseo Grenet's Espabilate is a Duetto Comico from his Zarzuela (Spanish Operetta) La Virgen Morena. It is NOT drawn from the 1942 movie of the same name. An odd choice. The original version of Sous le ciel d'Afrique: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jB4HWLQbWB4 The b/w movie clip is from another song from Princess Tam Tam "Le chemin du bonheur" http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=DYDLsIVppk8&feature=related. The tinted passages are from Josephine Baker's fabulous first movie, The Siren of the Tropics (1927). Complete Discography with sound samples of Josephine Baker: http://www.redhotjazz.com/josephinebaker.html The COMEDIAN HARMONISTS were the most popular of a-capella sextets, and their snappy and often ribald recordings are still appreciated and imitated. Founded in 1927 by unemployed singers in Berlin, the Comedian Harmonists quickly rose to international stardom; that is until the Nazis banned the sextet from performing in March 1934. The three Jewish members, Harry Frommermann, Erich Collin, and Roman Cycowski fled Germany and reformed under the name of "Comedy Harmonists".
