Thursday evening, Benjamin Biolay stopped at the Roanne theater as part of a new acoustic tour. In complete privacy, in front of more than 500 spectators, this major artist in the French-speaking musical landscape revealed the titles of his 11e opus, The Blue Disc. An immersive musical trip between Paris and Latin America!
“We are very happy to be here, in this little apartment setting: my home, but much better,” he announces, surrounded by his musicians on stage. Sunglasses on his nose, Benjamin Biolay takes off.
In a cozy atmosphere, the multi-awarded artist clearly sets the tone: melancholy and rhythms blend elegantly.
Between Paris and Buenos Aires, the 53-year-old singer deploys his gentleness with melodies and lyrical lyrics. Sometimes resident, sometimes visitor, he displays his duality in music. His new songs, recorded between Europe and Latin America, are inspired by South American sounds. Bossa-nova and French song intertwine for a melancholic journey.
In his deep voice, Biolay sings his memories, his aspirations… The essential singer-songwriter and musician obviously does not ignore Winter garden offers to Henri Salvador.
Around twenty titles frankly applauded by the Roanne spectators.
