Pierre Barouh - chansons choisies Pierre Barouh
Double black vinyl LP.
To mark its 60th anniversary, the legendary Saravah label is releasing an anthology by its founder: Pierre Barouh’s ‘Morceaux choisis’
Les Chansons choisies offers a journey through Pierre Barouh’s recordings from the early 1960s to the 2000s, featuring well-known tracks (La Bicyclette, Ce n’est que de l’eau, Samba Saravah…) and previously unreleased sessions. It showcases the eclecticism of the Saravah label’s producer – a pioneer of world music – and the razor-sharp lyrics of a great poet of French chanson, inspired by Brazilian rhythms and jazz. From Maurice Vander, Francis Lai and Baden Powell to the Japanese electro-pop scene of the 1980s, via Jacques Higelin, Areski Belkacem and the Quebec-born Michel Rivard, this double compilation – carried by the soft, intimate voice of the wanderer Pierre Barouh – sheds light on the thread of years and encounters that shaped his work.
