About Moussu T e lei Jovents
Moussu T e lei Jovents (Provençal for Mister T and the Youngsters) are joining us here for the fourth time. They have recorded 9 albums and produced several commemorative events (along with American artist, Arlee Leonard) dedicated to Harlem Renaissance writer, Claude McKay, whose 1929 novel, Banjo, they consider to be the finest novel ever written about Marseille.
