Little information about 17 Pygmies except that it is an American group formed in 1982 in Los Angeles and composed at its very beginnings of Philip Drucker, Michael Kory and Debbie Spinelli.
A group that will remain mainly in the musical history of this end of the 20th century for the big Single "A thousand lights" which will be released in 1985.
For this reason alone, we had to dedicate this article to them.
To discover or rediscover...

Tracks :
1984...the arrival of a small group with a totally improbable name and which will quickly prove that its talent is not improbable...
1984...certainly its style and sound are not necessarily the best to break through at the highest level but still...
1984...not easy either to break through with songs without lyrics. The group multiplies the difficulties without it seeming to bother them more than that...
1984...after that there is always a price to pay in these cases. And in most cases it is an almost automatic sidelining...
1984...which will not prevent them from continuing the adventure as they see fit. As they say, everyone leads their career as they see fit...
1984...too bad they chose this somewhat marginal path because they are far from being ridiculous. Overall good work in any case...
1985...a new opus that confirms a desire to continue the adventure as far as possible. Rather reassuring for the rest of the events...
1985...which will surely remain as their most accomplished title. A group that had everything it took to do great things and yet will have somewhat missed its story...
1985...whatever, we will enjoy until the end what they continue to offer. As long as the quality is there, everything is fine...
1985...it is certain that they will not remain as the most famous of their generation but it does not matter, the main thing is to participate as they say...
1988...a sequel that will take place in an even more confidential manner. Only the basic fans are there now...
1988...the whole 80s will have passed in pretty much the same way and there will have been almost no major evolution, neither in style nor in sound...
2008...an adventure that will have continued afterwards but in the most total shadow. Moreover in speechless mode which helps even less...
2013...they will come back at several times but in a style that is still unclassifiable. We won't remake them again as they say...
