Release Notes:
Catherine Ringer is a French singer best known as the frontwoman of Les Rita
Mitsouko, an influential pop/rock duo that broke through to mainstream success
in 1985 with the smash hit "Marcia Baila." She made her solo album debut with
Chante les Rita Mitsouko and More α la Cigale (2008), a live CD/DVD released a
year after the death of her duo partner, guitarist Fred Chichin. Born on October
18, 1957, in Suresnes, France, Ringer studied dance during the '70s and was also
active as an actress. In 1979 she met Chichin, who was active in the French rock
scene as a guitarist in a few different bands, and together the two founded les
Rita Mitsouko. With Chichin on guitar and herself on vocals, the duo made its
live debut in 1980, and made its recording debut in 1982 with the single "Minuit
Dansant." They made their full-length album debut in 1984 with Rita Mitsouko.
The album spawned the smash hit "Marcia Baila," which reached number two on the
French singles chart in 1985 and inspired a classic video, inspired in turn by
Ringer's former dance teacher, Argentine choreographer Marcia Moretto. Les Rita
Mitsouko's next two albums, The No Comprendo (1986) and Marc & Robert (1988),
were helmed by David Bowie producer Tony Visconti. The former album was
especially successful, spawning the classics "Andy" and "C'est Comme ╟a," and
winning a Victoires de la Musique award for Best Album of the Year. In 1988,
Ringer teamed up with Marc Lavoine for a hit duet, "Qu'est-ce Que T'es Belle."
During the '90s she collaborated with Coba on a couple of songs and was featured
on numerous soundtracks and compilations, yet she remained affixed to Les Rita
Mitsouko over the years, despite her popularity and the duo's inactivity
throughout most of the '90s. Only after Chichin suddenly died of cancer in 2007
did she made her solo album debut. Released on the one-year anniversary of
Chichin's death, Chante les Rita Mitsouko and More α la Cigale (2008) is a live
CD/DVD that includes numerous Rita Mitsouko classics.
