La Fête sauvage (The Wild Party) is an original score album by Greek composer Vangelis (as Vangelis Papathanassiou on some releases), from the 1975 documentary about animal wildlife La Fête Sauvage, by Frédéric Rossif.La Fête sauvage is the most world music-oriented of his soundtracks for Frédéric Rossif, compared to the mostly electronic/ambient/spacey L'Apocalypse des animaux and the highly melodic "classic Vangelis sound" of Opéra sauvage.The first part of the album features a mixture of electronics, percussion, animal sounds, and tribal chanting which is extremely evocative of the nature of the film project. The second part moves into more familiar Vangelis territory, with lush electronic soundscapes and sweet melodies, yet still well in keeping with the movie's themes. The chanting and percussion was performed by a number of guest musicians whom Vangelis invited to his studio.
