She said to herself “extremely moved”. This Friday, January 5, 2024, Jean-Pierre Armanet, the father of Juliette Armanet, is living his childhood dream by publishing his very first album at the age of 73. Baptized Clouds, this album offers titles in reference to the numerous trips that the father made during his life. Always passionate about music, Jean-Pierre introduced his daughter Juliette to his passion, who has since made it his profession. For several years she has been filling all the concert halls where she sings, and has some great successes on the air, such as The last day of disco. She owes this success to him: “The harmonic grids that I use, my way of composing, they come from my father” underlines the young woman, who wanted to contribute to her father’s album by writing one of the tracks that make it up.
Indeed, Save my life is a title composed entirely by Juliette Armanet, and which she also shares with her father. Father and daughter sing together this magnificent duet, which appears on the father’s album, but also on the daughter’s. She also wrote another title, underlines The Parisianwhich reveals the beginnings of this project, born in Limoges during the summer of 2022, thanks to the founder of the 1001 Notes festival, during which Juliette Armanet brought her father on stage to sing with him: “He found it interesting to show the genesis of Juliette, this connection between two generations and the music that was played to her, my wife and I, when she was little. She says I influenced her a lot.”.
Jean-Pierre Barbelivien or Didier Armanet?
But quickly, it was not really Jean-Pierre Armanet’s music that excited Internet users, but his face, which can quickly create an optical effect: in fact, to be mistaken, one could quickly confusing the 73-year-old singer with Didier Barbelivienand this striking resemblance greatly surprised the Web. “A little air of Didier Barbelivien, I thought”, “Damn…, I thought it was Didier Barbelivien”, “I preferred it when he played Didier Barbelivien” mocked some of them, when others, even more caustic, suggested that the neo-singer do a duet with Michel Sardouin reference to the heated controversy that his daughter triggered a few months ago, by criticizing the singer’s cult title The Lakes of Connemara.
