Gabriel Yacoub
:Yacoub
18.99
Another great set of songs by the master of French 'new folk.' Joined by his usual cast of excellent musicians, including Sylvie Berger (voice), Gilles Chabenat (vielle à roue/ hurdy gurdy), Ronan le Bars (bagpipes and whistles), and many more on strings, vocals, horns, reeds, guitars, percussion. This is a superb example of the work this musician can produce, from sparse, spooky vocal ensembls to full orchestral arrangements. The influences are wrld wide but the heart of the matter is still always the voice and vision of Yacoub.

"Yacoub is an elegant singer with a close connection to musicality. france intellectual folk? ...an ethno-traveler? ...the sensitivity comes right to the surface... the arrangements play on the blending of genres, and set the lyrics free to follow the wind" - Le Monde "Gabriel Yacoub has found his own unique road that is illuminated by his qualities as a musician and songwriter. both troubling and seductive, dense and romantic, obscure and bright, gabriel yacoub's repertoire truly takes flight on stage; his concerts seem to take you on an enchanted journey interspersed with humor and finesse ... a true individual in the world of french music." - Le Midi Libre
