Bernard Lavilliers vocals

An icon of French music, Bernard Lavilliers, champion of international solidarity and committed universalism, carries exoticism in his raw and vibrant poetry as a constant guiding principle.
Performing the songs that made him famous in symphonic adaptations — and joined by the cream of his musicians — Bernard Lavilliers bridges the gap between styles (rock, salsa, bossa) and lyrics imbued with Cendrars, Aragon, and even 21st-century verbiage; he touches the hearts of audiences of all generations.
A Swiss premiere, a Christmas gift for everyone, and a great orchestral piece sublimated by a legendary figure.
