The Nubians have succeeded in imposing their neo-soul R&B in the United States. What an achievement for these Franco-Cameroonians from Bordeaux (Gironde). They have made a name for themselves where only Edith Piaf, Charles Aznavour and Manu Dibango had managed to make a name for themselves in the French-speaking world. Their 1998 album Princesses Nubiennes went gold in the U.S., but failed to chart in France. 2003's One Step Forward follows a similar path, with consistent international success and a poor 91st place in France. The Nubians are also heavily involved in socio-cultural actions both locally and internationally.
