Editing Deep Forest (section)

== Controversy ==
The song "Freedom Cry" from the album ''[[Boheme (album)|Boheme]]'' caused controversy when it was revealed that the Hungarian Roma singer, [[Károly Rostás]] ("Huttyán"), never received any monetary compensation from the song, and neither did his family after he died in 1986. His singing, archived by [[Claude Flagel]], was sampled by Deep Forest. Flagel allegedly paid Huttyán {{Currency|1500|HUF}} (about {{Currency|30|USD}} in 1986) for the recording. The case was later documented in a movie entitled ''[[Huttyán]]'', released in 1996.<ref name="huttyanmovie">[http://nda.sztaki.hu/kereso/index.php?a=get&id=2539&pattern= Huttyán (NDA@SZTAKI)<!-- Bot generated title -->]</ref>
The relatives did succeed to some extent in getting compensation from Deep Forest.<ref>Hungarian newspaper articles:[http://www.folkradio.hu/hirek/hir_show.php?id=1751 1],[http://www.szabadfold.hu/cikk?6152 2] {{Webarchive|url=https://web.archive.org/web/20111009023859/http://www.szabadfold.hu/cikk?6152 |date=9 October 2011 }}</ref>

Deep Forest's signature song "Sweet Lullaby" centres on an uncredited recording of ancestral [[Baegu]] lullaby "Rorogwela", from [[Malaita]], sung by a woman named Afunakwa, and recorded by ethnomusicologist [[Hugo Zemp]]. The recording was used without authorization from Afunakwa, Zemp, label UNESCO discs or distributor Auvidis, although Zemp had earlier reluctantly given oral permission for an unrelated recording to be used.<ref>{{Cite journal|last=Feld|first=Steven|date=1 January 2000|title=A Sweet Lullaby for World Music|url=https://muse.jhu.edu/article/26181|journal=Public Culture|language=en|volume=12|issue=1|pages=145–171|doi=10.1215/08992363-12-1-145|s2cid=143663473|issn=1527-8018|url-access=subscription}}</ref> The Deep Forest project has since become a ''cause celèbre'' as an example of primitivist caricature and [[cultural appropriation]].<ref>{{Cite book|last=AGAWU|first=V.
