Alexandre Tharaud & Angélique Kidjo
les mots d’amour
She is the voice of African pop and a five-time Grammy Award winner. He is currently France’s most celebrated pianist. What unites Angélique Kidjo and Alexandre Tharaud is their love for French chanson. Tharaud’s lyrical arrangements for piano enhance Kidjo’s unique and engaging voice. From Josephine Baker to Dominique A, via Piaf, Brel, Nougaro and Gainsbourg: together they bring these sometimes lilting, sometimes swinging songs to life.
"For long moments, the fabulous pianist lays a fluffy carpet under this vocal queen, then the two find their way to a magnificent, even rousing conversation"
