Mama Bea Tekielski

Singer described in reviews as half Polish and half Italian, living and singing in France. Reviews note a raw, hoarse and versatile voice, theatrical stage presentation (large rag dolls), an affinity for poetic and experimental late-70s rock and references to liking Leo Ferré.

Associated in the reviews with late 1970s French rock; the album Faudrait rallumer la lumière dans ce foutu compartiment is repeatedly discussed and presented as a rediscovered, original work.
