Details: Product Description The Foundation of Alexis Hk's Music Can Be Found in the Works of the French Founding Trio of "Chanson" (Jacques Brel, Georges Brassens and Leo Ferre). The Lyrics Are Deep as Well as the Music, Even Though Most of the Arrangements Are Signed by Olaf Hund (Founder of the Electronic Music Label "Musiques Hybrides"). Alexis Hk Wanted to Give a Warm Feeling to These Songs and Has Succeeded, Even Though He Has Trouble Identifying Just What Makes a Song Warm Or Not. "Belle Ville" is a Great Album that Will Remind You at Times of Serge Gainsbourg. Amazon.ca At almost thirty years old, Alexis Djoshkhounian, known as HK, declared in 1998 "notorious anti-hero", still tells himself stories on the edge of reality and fantasy. His little world, located on the side of Belle Ville is populated by zany characters including Gaspard, the flying dwarf, Mitch, the wrestler or the mean toddler. Faced with unbridled competition from octave climbers, Alexis and his three acolytes prefer to surround themselves with accordion, flute, double bass, acoustic guitar and mandolin. Lover of home-cooked tunes tasted at the local bistro, chansonnier with a warm voice and unparalleled melodist, Alexis HK swings under the guidance of Olaf Hund, a jack-of-all-trades well-known to electro lovers. And his Belle Ville, where gentlemen on bicycles rub shoulders with caring grandmothers, is worth a detour. Popular and refined. --Sabrina Silamo
