La Fête Sauvage

a look at the music of Vangelis Papathanassiou

Introduction
"La fête sauvage" is a wildlife-film made by Frédéric Rossif in 1975. Then already Vangelis and Frédéric knew each other already from cooperations such as "L'apocalypse des animaux" (1971), "Georges Mathieu ou la fureur d'être" (1971) and "Georges Braque ou le temps différent" (1974).

Other wildlife documentary series and films by Frédéric Rossif that Vangelis provided a musical score for include "L'apocalypse des animaux" (1971),  "L'Opera sauvage" (1979) and "Sauvage et Beau" (1984).

The music for "La fête sauvage" must have been popular at the time, considering all the different releases this album is awarded. Fun for collectors to find all different sleeves!
