Cyclone! - Gallic Guitars A-Go-Go 1962-66 CD

When rock ’n’ roll music hit the shores of France, it was embraced with a fervour more intense than in other European countries.
The first wave of French rock bands set the stage for the later yé-yé scene and led a generation of Gallic teens to follow suit and launch their own groups.
Many were inspired to form combos by the Shadows, the reigning kings of instrumental rock throughout Europe in the early '60s.
Every country had bands vying to be the top instrumental group but nowhere was the competition more fierce than in Paris.
Cyclone - Gallic Guitars A-Go-Go brings you 25 of the finest examples of the era, featuring Les Fantomes, The Blackburds, Les Guitares du Diable, Les Champions, Joey & the Showmen, The Krewkats, Les Pingouins and more.
