Les lettres rouges

Description

After the success of her album "Du coq à l'âme," Lynda Lemay could have settled for releasing a live album of her most famous tracks. But here’s the thing, the Quebecer loves to surprise her audience. So she releases a live album, yes, but with 17 new tracks out of 18, plus her previously unreleased Cours de québécois as a bonus track. And while Bande de dégonflés, a track from "Du coq à l'âme," is included here, it’s actually because the singer follows it up with its female counterpart, so to speak, Bande de dégonflantes. A moment of delight and rawness ("Oh yes, what a disappointment/When you’re there and you’re fidgeting/Without finding a way/To make me laugh")...
The audience sways from laughter to tears with Lynda Lemay, with her words and her simple stories, like the moving one of La Centenaire ("And I’m the only one who watches/Who lives, who still lives/I’m falling asleep/But what is death doing?").
