Thu 2 Apr – Coralie Clément @ BAFICI

El Concierto estuvo muy bueno, en una aura intimista al ser el ambiente un teatro. Fue recibida con aplausos.... Yo estaba en primera fila pero en la lateral izquierda, con mi prima...y al otro lado había una fotógrafa de un medio que no recuerdo cual... Pero las luces fueron muy bajas y no pude tomar tan buenas fotos que digamos... Ella estaba con su minishort , medibachas negras.. oh oh, jaja.. En fin, me sorprendió con su perfomance, y sus músicos, que si no me equivoco... el tecladista/arreglista fue parte de los músicos que vinieron con su hermano, Benjamin Biolay, el año pasado, y al guitarrista/multi-instrumentista (toco desde la guitarra hasta el baby fafisa). lo vi un dia antes en el Alto Palermo, imposible de olvidar esos cabellos. Deslumbro tocando las siguientes canciones... Le Effect Jokari, Avec ou Sans Moi, C'est La Vie (al comienzo y al final... tocando en esta la flauta), Sono Io (en su italiano afrancesado), So Long Babylon, Houlala…

Bénabar revient en ce mois d'octobre 2008 avec un album Infréquentable http://ecx.images-amazon.com/images/I/51koiW5T3ML._SS500_.jpg

L'album débute par L'Effet papillon, au contenu scientifiquement discutable voire "infréquentable" déjà repris par Muse en son temps dans Butterflies And Hurricanes. De la vulgarisation scientifique, de l'humour, une bonne mélodie facile à retenir...c'était la bonne piste pour lancer l'album !

allez! raconte l'ami dépressif, "no life", suicidaire avec pour seul animal de compagnie, une mouche nommée "balle dans la bouche"...
Musicalement, le titre termine par un fond de flûte indienne de bon goût.
A noter de nouveau, Muriel, une des protoganistes de Dis-lui oui, piste de Les risques du métier.

Les numéros tracent une voie nécessairement étroite sur une mélodie agréable.

Les interrogations existentielles de l'ami Nicolini, malgré ses 40 ans, nous sont livrées dans son Malgré tout... …

"I like Frenchmen very much,
because even when they insult you
they do it so nicely."
(Josephine Baker)

I think it's no secret that I love France, that I would kill to live in Paris, that I adore the French language (although unfortunately I don't speak it too fluent because I'm too lazy) - and that I have a - for me - quite untypical crush on so many French artists. I wouldn't call it "obsession", but maybe it's nearly something like that, who knows. So as I listened to a lot of what is generally called chansons francaises (oh-how I hate it that last.fm won't accept the cedilla...) I thought of writing a journal entry for quite some time now, but I wasn't sure which form I should use. I think I will just present (as in "list") those artists I like the most, accompanied by their album I think is the best so far, the one I think is the most representative - or just the only one I know.

In addition to this journal entry I created a playlist to make all…
