Brussels Jazz Orchestra With Camille Bertault: Gainsbourg

A pi�� di trent'anni dalla morte,

Serge Gainsbourg

b.1928

" data-original-title="" title="">Serge Gainsbourg resta una figura particolarmente amata dal pubblico francese. La sua tomba al cimitero di Montparnasse �� tra le pi�� visitate e perennemente ricolma di fiori freschi. Nato Lucien Ginsburg da emigranti ebrei di origine turca e russa, inizi�� negli anni cinquanta a esibirsi nei locali come pianista e intrattenitore, iniziando quella carriera di cantante e autore (e poi attore, regista, performer) che lo port�� al successo internazionale con la canzone "Je t'aime... moi non plus" eseguita con Jane Birkin nel 1969.

" data-original-title="" title="">Camille Bertault ricordano che Gainsbourg fu un artista eclettico ed interpretano dodici sue canzoni (ma ovviamente non "Je t'aime... moi non plus") con brioso charme. Registrato lo scorso anno, il programma continua a suscitare consensi come dimostrano i concerti di fine novembre in Belgio. Con quest'album Camille Bertault (che ha appena pubblicato un nuovo lavoro: Bonjour Mon Amour) riafferma in primo luogo la sua identit�� di cantante francese, che usa la lingua nazionale e privilegia gli autori della sua tradizione.

Il disco inizia con la spigliata "Couleur caf��" che Gainsbourg scrisse nel 1964 e il brillante arrangiamento rispetta il clima originale latino. Scritte principalmente da
