Born in Nimes in southern France, Cathy spent her formative years living in several cities in three continents. Orphaned as a teenager, she was adopted as the tenth daughter in a large Roma family. Her life was immersed in music, and she soon learned to play several instruments, including flute, electric bass and guitar.
She sent a demo tape to Virgin France, and promptly got signed up, who released her first album in 1987. Several more albums followed, and from the late 1980s and into the 1990s, her music and trademark vocals, were picked up by artists from around the world. She became known as a composer of flamenco/ gypsy fusion songs, writing songs for some of the biggest gypsy artists of the day. Flamenco star Raimundo Amador and B. B. King covered Cathy’s original song ‘Bolleré’, which became a massive hit.
Meanwhile in Japan, musicians from the ‘Shibuya-kei’ scene, such as Kahimi Karie and others, also fell in love with her music. This love affair with Japan continues to this day with this album and her previous from 2018, Primavera, released by Tokyo record label, Respect Record.
