Brigitte & Areski created a unique artistic tandem - though everythin ( even the music ) was built a priori from Brigitte's poetry & words .. she was - is and will be u know The Persona behind their inspiration - behind their innovation and of course the key of their work so she holds the name of all of that ! respectfully...

Il faut dire aussi qu'il n'y a pas une super compatibilité entre les appellations de Spotify et celles de Last fm.

since when is everything scrobbled under 'Brigitte Fontaine & Areski [Belkacem]' redirected to here? I see how it makes sense (since half the albums on which they collaborated DO have only Brigitte's name on cover), but ... hmm.
