The A'dam Quartet sings Boris Vian - concert version

An evening in Saint-Germain-des-Prés with Boris Vian

 

Novelist, poet, trumpeter, journalist, composer, painter, etc. Boris Vian is undoubtedly one of the great French geniuses of the 20th century.

This veritable jack-of-all-trades who lived - literally as well as figuratively - out of breath, ignited the nights of Saint-Germain-des-Prés in the immediate post-war period. Cellars and cabarets have experienced tremendous excitement. Until the end of the night, Boris Vian, like many young artists (Gainsbourg, Brassens, Salvador, Les Frères Jacques, Juliette Gréco, etc.) created their songs there, making the musical heart of Paris beat.

The A'dam Quartet invites you, through new arrangements of songs including some nuggets, by Boris Vian and his contemporaries, to plunge into the dampness of caf'conc 'and to discover the different facets of this frenetic artist !
