At 90 years old, Marcel Amont, one of the last legends of music hall, makes a discographic comeback as unexpected as it is successful, alongside the biggest names in French song: Charles Aznavour, Francis Cabrel, Alain Souchon, Maxime Le Forestier, François Morel, Aldebert... For the first time, Marcel Amont revisits his repertoire with the authors who composed his hits. Indeed, it was in 1962 that Charles Aznavour gave him the famous Mexicain. Or again in 1979, Alain Souchon wrote Viennois (a magnificent declaration of love to the romantic waltz) and Maxime Le Forestier composed La Galère for Marcel Amont around the same time. In 1975, it was Georges Brassens who offered Le Chapeau de Mireille to his friend Amont. This song is performed for the first time by a great southern Brassens enthusiast: Francis Cabrel. Joël Favraux (guitarist - arranger for Brassens in the 70s) accompanies them on this new version. Other loyal friends come to accompany Marcel on this opus: François Morel offered to share Monsieur, one of the most joyful titles in Marcel Amont's career. As for Aldebert, he set to music an unpublished text by Marcel, Viva la Vida. IGIT composes the very chic new track Par-dessus l'épaule, which makes him confess: "In winter I play at spring / I play hide and seek with time." Finally, he shares Samba d'été, a Brazilian classic he translated in 1967 with his son, Mathias.
