French singer-songwriter and performer associated with New Wave and world-influenced Afro-pop; recorded for ZE Records and noted for inventive fusions of rhythm and genre.

Associated with ZE Records; Mambo Nassau was recorded at Compass Point Studios; collaborators and personnel mentioned in reviews include Steve Stanley and Wally Badarou. Review connections to the New York post-punk scene (references to Richard Hell, Patti Smith) are also noted in contemporary accounts.

Lao Tze's review praises Mambo Nassau as an inventive Afro-Funk/New Wave record that blends tribal rhythms, polyrhythms and post-punk deconstruction. The review connects Lizzy's work to Talking Heads-era ideas while emphasizing her singular, iconoclastic approach. Production personnel and recording location (Compass Point, Wally Badarou, Steve Stanley) are noted.

For:Fans of New Wave, post-punk, Afro-Funk, Talking Heads/Byrne listeners, collectors of ZE Records-era music
