Few musicians have managed to invent a whole new musical genre, but how many can lay claim to a new language?

Composer and singer Julien Jacob has done just that, delivering his tender and deeply original pan-continental world music in an entirely imaginary tongue.

Hailing from Benin in West Africa but living and working in France, he inhabits, along with his label mate and collaborator Rachid Taha, the creative hinterland between cultures.

Today, Jacob is accompanied by guitar and percussion.
