Born in Vietnam, Francois Cambuzat left home at 16 and moved to London, New York, where he played jazz, and then Rome, where he played with
the Kim Squad and recorded Young Bastards (Virgin, 1987),
Notre Dame Des Naufragee (Virgin, 1988), and
Uccidiamo Kim (Caesar, 1990).
His next Italian project, Il Gran Teatro Amaro, released
Port Famine (RecRec, 1991),
Hotel Brennessel (RecRec, 1993)
and
Piazza Orphelins (RecRec, 1995)
After working with avantgarde composers Luciano Berio and Mauricio Kagel,
his Italian-French trio
L'Enfance Rouge recorded
Swinnoujscie-Tunis (L'Enfance Rouge, 1995) and
Reus-Ljubljana (L'Enfance Rouge, 1998),
albums that straddle the border between jazz and chamber music.
The trio was pared down to a guitar-bass duo for
Taurisano-Cajarc (CPI, 1998) and Davos-Lerds (Audioglobe, 2000).
A new line-up recorded
Rostock-Namur (2002), Krsko-Valencia (2005), Trapani-Halq al Waady (2008) and Bar-Bari (2011).
The project Putan Club is a collaboration with multimedia artist Vincent Fortemps .
La Republique du Sauvage
is a supergroup of sorts: L'Enfance Rouge with
Les Hurlements d'Leo. They debuted with
Constitution (Irfan, 2007).

(Translation by/ Tradotto da Antonio Campo)
Francois Cambuzat, girovago, sperimentatore e sovvertitore,
ha fondato The Kim Squad, che hanno inciso Young Bastards (Virgin, 1987), Notre
Dame Des Naufragee (Virgin, 1988), e Uccidiamo Kim (Caesar, 1990)
Il suo progetto successivo, Il Gran Teatro Amaro, ha
realizzato Port Famine (RecRec, 1991), Hotel Brennessel (RecRec, 1993) e Piazza
Orphelins (RecRec, 1995)
L'Enfance Rouge, trio franco-italiano, ha registrato
Swinnoujscie-Tunis (L'Enfance Rouge, 1995) e Reus-Ljubljana (L'Enfance Rouge,
1998), a metà tra jazz e musica da camera.
Il trio si è ridotto a un duo chitarra-basso per
Taurisano-Cajarc (CPI, 1998) e Davos-Lerds (Audioglobe, 2000). Una nuova
formazione a tre ha registrato Rostock-Namur (Audioglobe, 2002), Krsko-Valencia
(Wallace, 2005), Trapani-Halq al Waady (Wallace, 2008) e Bar-Bari (Wallace,
2011).
Il progetto Putan Club è una collaborazione con l'artista
multimediale Vincent Fortemps.
La Republique du Sauvage, che ha registrato Constitution (Irfan,
2007), è una specie di supergruppo formato da L'Enfance Rouge e Les Hurlements
d'Leo.
