BIO

“ATTENDRE QUE LE SOLEIL REVIENNE”

After the success of « EL TRIO DE MIS AMORES » with Fernando Fizsbein and Roberto Gonzalez Hurtado:
“I’ve been asked for several years already — both by frenzied audiences and especially by Olivier Gluzman — to write songs in French

But I just couldn’t get myself to write lyrics. And in fact, I hardly felt any desire to even sing in French, even lyrics written by others. I felt protected, in a way, by foreign languages, whereas in French, I felt almost naked, clumsy, as if I couldn’t find a way to make the words sing. Little by little I learnt how to do it: one or two songs per concert and per record at a time. I tamed French as a language to be sung, and accepted to bare myself a little bit more intimately through my singing voice.

And here I am — after 20 years on stage in Spanish, Portuguese, Hebrew or Arabic — with my first album in French » soon to be released, while a new show is being prepared!”
