Bïa Krieger (voz)

Participación de: Pierre Barouh.

La políglota Bïa Krieger interpreta a Chico Buarque, Brassens, Yupanqui, etc, en un impecable CD producido por el compositor Pierre Barouh (el de "Un homme et une femme"), que ha ganado uno de los premios más prestigiosos de la industria discográfica de Francia.
En el clima intimista, nostálgico y austero de la mejor tradición de la canción francesa de los 50 (Brassens, Greco,...) pero con una irresistible inclinación hacia la bossa nova, Bïa canta con la naturalidad y la calidez de su herencia brasileña.

"Bia’s first released CD was called La mémoire du vent and it came out in 1997. It’s been reissued several times. This is an album that will appeal to fans of the great Brazilian singer/poet Chico Buarque de Hollanda. The album features six of his songs, most of them in French translation. This was a momentous thing to do. Chico, some feel, is Brazil’s answer to Shakespeare. For an unknown singer to adapt (!) his words might have seemed presumptuous. In fact Bia was not only a fan of Chico’s, but his protégé, and he may even accompany her on one of the tracks (I think). The best track on the album is Chico’s Barbara, a soulful rendition with a superb guitar and flute backing. The album skillfully melds the three cultures important to Bia and which are part of her background: France, Spanish America and Brazil. She frequently translates lyrics between the three languages (Chico in French, Brassens in Spanish for instance). Another featured composer on the album is Jean Duino, a singer/songwriter from Port de Bouc on the Mediterranean coast of France. Each of his three tracks is an outstanding example of fine songwriting: Le miroir aux oiseaux, La tour de Constance, and, most especially, Complainte Africaine, a man’s lament on waking to find himself on a ship loaded with African slaves and bound for America, and presented in soukous style with a rocking guitar and improvisational flute accompaniment. The great Georges Brassens is represented by a translation of one of his songs (Por una muñeca), with a mesmerising jazz guitar accompaniment. There is a version of Los Hermanos by Atahualpa Yupanqui. And Bia contributes her own composition, Un million d’étoiles, a bossa flavoured number that in this company must be a salute to Jobim. The accompanying music backing all this is underscored and expertly played, with a sophistication English speakers associate with jazz but which in the cultures the songs come from are not part of any genres. They are all songs expressing a personal view of the world, protests at injustice, irony about fate, fantasy and regret. Represented are some of the giants of South American and French musical culture. This is a very autobiographical mix, music chosen, I think, because it has meant something in Bia’s development, and it’s a very successful presentation." biakrieger.com
