Les Sages Poètes de la Rue
Les Sages Poètes de la Rue (The Wise Poets of the Street): Dany Dan, Melopheelo and Zoxea, are a French hip hop band that has profoundly influenced and keeps influencing their musical genre as a band or through their solo career.
Les Sages Po' make their first apparition on the hip-hop scene in 1993 on the Cool Sessions compilation and on the original soundtrack of the classic La Haine with Bon Baiser du Poste (With love from the Police station).
Far from the hardcore trend, les Sages Po’, choosing an old-school approach on jazzy vibes, release their first album Qu’est ce qui fait marcher les Sages (What makes the wise guys walk) in 1995. Jimmy Jay and MC Solaar are the executive producer of this album, while les Sages Po’ sign their own beats and lyrics. The same year they collaborate with Sinclair for the remix of Tranquille.
With the succes of this first album, les Sages Po’ form their own structure : Beat de Boul, in order to help the groups of their area to make it into the hip hop industry. Amongst these groups are the famous Lunatic, Malekal Morte, Movez’ Lang and Less du Neuf. Beat de Boul releases Dans la Sono (In the Soundsystem) in 1997 and les Sages Po’ come back the following year with their second album Jusqu’à l’Amour (Till Love) and are acclaimed by both their public and the media.
Les Sages Poètes de la Rue return to the studio in 2002 for their third album Après l’Orage (After the Storm). Although an independent band, les Sages Po’ decide to sign with BMG for this album. Après l’Orage proves that Zoxea, Melopheelo and Dany Dan still have the magic of their glorious beginning.
Their fourth album: Trésors Enfouis (Hidden Treasures) is released in 2005. The public still loyal to the band welcomes this album “concept”.
Les Sages Poètes de la Rue are currently planning their come back with a fifth album promoting hip-hop real values of peace and unity on jazzy vibes and punchy lyrics with classic hip-hop beats.
