Laïs & Trenet


The three Belgian babes of Laïs (Annelies, Nathalie, Jorunn) are making records since 1998. They write their own material, but also cover old European folksongs, in several languages, that sometimes date back many centuries. But they also cover Jacques Brel and, on their newest album The Ladies Second Song, Charles Trenet. Serenade Portugais wasn't originally sung by Mr. Boum himself, but by French songstress Leo Marjane, who's apparently a big star pre- and during World War 2. As always, the Lais-girls used the original lyrics, but wrote their own (beautiful) melodies. By the way, on one of the pictures in the booklet by their new album, you can see Jorunn (the blonde) breastfeeding a skull. No, really.
