Remember Le Soldat Rose? The musical, based on the children's book by Louis Chedid and Pierre-Dominique about a very lively toy store, has been performed in Paris last week. YouTube has a short feature. An illustrated album was released too, featuring songs by Vanessa Paradis (I already posted that one), Jeanne Cherhal, Albin de la Simone and M(athieu Chedid). I'm not a big fan of adult artists making music aimed at children (K3 springs to mind), and I think that most songs on the album make more sense on stage than at home on the couch. But with Cherhal, Paradis and the hugely talented M (see him and Vanessa perform a great song here, he produces her new album which will be released in 2007) you really can't go wrong.Jeanne Cherhal - La Valse Des Etiquettes
Jeanne Cherhal, Vanessa Paradis, Sanseverino, Benabar, Louis Chedid - Un Papa, Une Maman

BeantwoordenVerwijderenI saw the live show, two weeks ago. It was being recorded for TV and a further DVD release. I hadn't heard the songs before, apart from Francis Cabrel's song that was released as a radio single. Good show, good performers (apart from "Shirley & Dino", two very famous comedians that have absolutely no vocal talent). Vanessa Paradis got the biggest applauses, it's amazing how popular this girl is to the French audience. Other major stars (Cabrel, Souchon, M) got warm reaction too. Long standing ovation at the end, the whole cast came on stage to reprise the "Love love" song at least twice. Check "France 2" TV channel around Christmas if you want to catch it.
