Toulouse, the city of Cabrel’s “first songs”

This single is titled A piece of Sicre in reference to Claude Sicre, one of the pioneers of the defense and recognition of Occitan culture, also known as a member of the Fabulous Trobadors. It is “uA piece of Sicre, therefore, of positivity, kindness, humor, erudition, all that in your black coffee… A Toulouse day begins. It is a tribute to this important city for me. Between rue Caraman and rue Matabiau, I sang and recorded my first songs there”, specifies the singer on the pre-order site of the album.

“Quantity of characters could and should have appeared in the chorus but for lack of space, I thank them here and in particular Richard and Daniel Seff, Jean-Pierre Mader, Michel Art Mengo, Émile, Images and Gold combined, all those who took Toulouse song to the top behind the great Claude whom everyone pursues”, he adds again.
