Fourteen interpretations. Well-known, very well-known, mostly beauties from the Quebec repertoire (from When men will live on love at The cursed machine), and some familiar ones from France (duets). This is no small challenge that partners Rachel Bonneau and Thomas Carbou have taken up. Not to imitate, to stand out. Reinvent without distorting: how far to go, not to go? Admirable success that this anthology in their own way. Rachel Bonneau does not push her voice, evokes the melodies without unduly measuring herself against them, and above all without compensating with “sparages”. Thomas Carbou, ace guitarist, Moran’s accomplice, skilfully dressed the tunes with acoustic, electric and electronic atmospheres, a hammock for music in which songs as different as I hear knocking (yes, that of Pag) and While the fields are burning (Niagara) settle more than pleasantly. The great art of good taste, discreet elegance. And if something from us became your summer album?
