两位其貌不扬的女子羽鸟美保(Miho Hatori)和本田优佳(Yuka Honda)先后由日本移居至纽约，机缘巧合下二人组成了今天的Cibo Matto。可不要太低估了她们，由最初活跃于纽约当地的地下音乐圈，到获得主流唱片公司垂青而被招揽旗下，Cibo Matto实现了众多立志要在西方乐坛闯一闯的日本女孩子的梦想。Cibo Matto即意大利语中的“食物狂”之意，而自言什么也爱吃的她们，其音乐世界也是糅合着多种不同的素材而来。无论是96年初发表的处女专集《Viva! La Woman》还是98年发表的《Stereotype A》，都叫人听得惊为天人。里边无论是不可思议、光怪陆离的混种Hip Hop音乐取向，还是丰富的音乐伴奏编排，都呈现出一种属于Cibo Matto的Self-Style风格，证明了Miho Hatori和Yuka Honda二人是那么殊不简单。
这张作品是2001年WARNER公司发行的CIBO MATTO的SINGLES COLLECTION，我想这种FAST FUSION的音乐应该会受到爵士乐和摇滚乐迷们的一致欣赏吧，这种风格的乐队并不多见，再加上非凡的实力，自然可想而知其为何如此成功和深受瞩目……

Viva! La Woman is an album by Cibo Matto released in 1996 by Warner Bros. Records. The genre has been described as "urban trip-hop". The album received mostly favorable reviews.[citation needed] Some reviewers dismissed the album as "kitschy", a fact that disappointed the band.
Warner Bros. signed Cibo Matto after their self-titled EP caught the label's attention. The tracks reflected the band's live performances, with pre-recorded samples and loops. Yuka Honda has expressed regret that she did not stand up for herself when others discouraged her from replacing the samples and loops with new recordings.
The album's songs all include food in some way, sometimes as a metaphor.[citation needed] Yuka Honda explains: "Food is something you can't escape. It's there every day." The band would frequently go to restaurants after rehearsal, and "Cibo Matto grew out of those restaurant times."
