Description

Originally scheduled for release on 09/09 With the release of the album 'O Gringo' in 1980, Lavilliers became one of the great popular artists of the French-speaking scene. This musical travelogue blends reggae, salsa, and even traditional Brazilian rhythms, making it an eclectic album with varied inspirations. When you list the cult songs from the album, you are literally dizzy, with, among others: 'O Gringo,' which gives its name to the album, one of the imprints of the singer's passion for Brazil, has become one of his recurring concert titles. 'Stand The Ghetto,' a reggae hit recorded in Jamaica, a song "validated" by Bob Marley. 'La Salsa,' an authentic, timeless salsa, recorded in New York with the complicity of Ray Baretto, one of the masters of Afro-Cuban music. 'Traffic,' another enduring hit of French pop. 'Attention Fragile,' the flood of emotion overflows from the first words. Great lyrics, magnetic melody that shed light on the enormous human dimension of the artist from Saint-Étienne.
