Zulu Rock is the third album of French singer Lizzy Mercier Descloux, which was released on ZE Records in 1984 and recorded at the Satbel Studio, Johannesburg, South Africa. Its sound was inspired by African folk music mixed with 80's French pop. An alternate version of the album was entitled "Mais où Sont Passées les Gazelles" ("But Where Have The Gazelles Gone?"; "Mais où Sont Passées les Gazelles" is also the title of the third track off of the album, released as a single in 1984).
After "Mais où Sont Passées les Gazelles" became a hit single in France, Mercier Descloux' music received some public attention. "Zulu Rock" was highly acclaimed by press and audience; some critics even proclaimed it "album of the year".
All songs written by Lizzy Mercier Descloux unless otherwise noted.
The album was produced by Adam Kidron and Michel Esteban. ZE Records reissued a digital remastered album in 2006 (from analogue master tapes). It was remastered by Charlus de la Salle at South Factory Studio.
