Gilbert Laffaille
LES BEAUX DEBUTS
Gérard Viel
Nice reunion with one of our most original singer-songwriter Gilbert Laffaille, thanks to the release of a box set "Les Beaux Débuts".
Bringing together 3 CDs, 69 songs from his first vinyl albums from 1977 to 1998, we relive a period in our society. His emblematic songs of his work : Le président et l'éléphant, Interrogations écrites, La ballades des pendules, Neuilly Blues, Trucs et ficelles, Sac à dos pataugas, Les beaux débuts, take on a new dimension. It is an opportunity to take the time to discover his personal universe and his relevant view of our society. Gilbert Laffaille is a visionary and all his songs have a universal meaning and are still relevant today! Listen to "Éducation Nationale, Le dernier des Mohicans, Le gros chat du marché, La tour d'Ivoire, Cha cha média" ... you will feel that they were written in the last few years!!!! Gilbert Laffaille is a sensitive man, sincere and open to our world. He is one of his artists who are anchored in the hearts of the public and his songs will remain forever in our imagination and our timeless musical heritage. In this festive season, don't forget artists, creators and songwriters like Gilbert Laffaille. Essential box set to order on: https://www.traficom-musik-shop.com/fr/
Do not miss also his book " Kaléidoscope " (Christian Pirot éditeur), with a preface by Philippe Delerme. One has the impression that Gilbert is sitting around a good table and talks to us intimately about his life, his career and the personal story of his complete songs. A pleasure to read in order to better understand the man, his work, and the discovery of the importance of the social and cultural history of his songs .
