In the week starting 2 July Sylvester Hoogmoed will be trying to
find
the essence of Chanson. How classical were Léo Ferré's
compositions? What distinguishes Francis Cabrel from his great
idol Bob Dylan?
How
great was Serge Gainsbourg's influence on avant-garde pop-music? Was
the Paris-born Ramses Shaffy a real singer or was he more
inspired by crooners such
as Frank Sinatra? Is Stromae really the new
Brel? Do people still listen to Aristide Bruant, Charles Trenet or
Georges Brassens?
These questions may not be answered, but are certainly reason to play
songs in
which all kinds of highs and lows were reached. And of
course we have to play La Bicyclette by Yves Montand!
