British musician Tricky is an emblematic figure on the Bristol trip hop scene. His first hit album Maxinquaye was named after his mother, now on his latest, 11th, he finally uses his own name Adrian Thaws. It suggests he might be warming with age, but he’s as discrete as ever on this club-inspired album, preferring to push female vocalists to the fore. He talks to RFI about working with feisty, even scarey rappers like German-Nigerian Nneka and Britain’s full-on Bella Gotti. His daughter Mazy makes her promising debut appearance on one track.
Much-awaited concert in Paris in January 2015 !
