Details: Product Description The powerful poetry of Richard Desjardins meets the exploded imagination of director Yves Desrosiers and the demands of accomplished musicians, among others, Normand Guilbeault (double bass), Claude Fradette (guitars), Francis Covan (violin and accordion), Marie-Soleil Bélanger (violin). Another vigil of arms in the face of the senseless attacks to which humanity is currently subjected. The powerful poetry of Richard Desjardins meets the eclectic imaginary vision of producer Yves Desrosiers, with the support of accomplished artists such as Normand Guilbeault (double bass), Claude Fradette (guitars), Francis Covan (violin and accordion) and Marie-Soleil Bélanger ( violin). Amazon.ca From Tu m'aimes-tu?, a flagship record of French song from the 90s, Richard Desjardins slowly builds, to the rhythm of nature that inhabits all of his work, a poetic and brutal universe, tender and cruel, sentimental and socially committed, sensual and rough. Directed by Yves Desrosiers (Volodia), Kanasuta offers 14 songs that celebrate nature, friendship (“Que ont became mes amis”), love that lasts (“Jenny”), and slays the bastards (“Les Veuves” ) and the snobs (“Le Gala”) with this unique tone where irony competes with lyricism. A spokesperson for the exploited, the low-income earners and the excluded, Desjardins also sings about love like no other, thereby reaching an extremely varied audience. To dress up his chiseled texts, Desjardins has concocted country-folk melodies carried by a variety of instruments (double bass, violin, accordion, banjo, electric, classical, acoustic guitar, etc.) that never drown out the clarity of the subject. Great art. --Pascale Millot
