Saâda Bonaire - 1984 Radio Bremen Interview / You Could Be More As You Are
Please reda this article to get acquainted with the topic presented above:
„Saâda Bonaire was conceived by DJ Ralf Behrendt in 1982 in Bremen, Germany as a disco/world music and art concept. Inspired by the influence of Caribbean immigrants on the British music scene of the late 70s, Saâda Bonaire sought to fuse Eastern influences from Germany’s own immigrant population with dub, disco, and funk. The group centered around two sultry female vocalists (Stefanie Lange and Claudia Hossfeld), renowned saxophonist Charlie Mariano, and a number of Kurdish musicians from Turkey who Behrendt met through his work with the immigration department of the German government.
(...)
The questionable aesthetics aside, Stefanie and Claudia were certainly pushing boundaries lyrically. What I find most alluring about this project is the fun, exuberance, sexuality, and inquisitiveness coursing through Stefanie and Claudia’s ambiguous spoken-word style lyrics. It feels like early feminist pop poetry. It only took a quick Google search to find the details of the project’s production process, but the women behind the words remained mysterious. Their background before getting into music and their pursuits after Saada Bonaire are unknown.” - thepersephoneproject.org
