If Georges Brassens preferred the sun of Sète to that of Rio and its umbrella pine to the magnolias of New Orleans, he was not particularly tempted by the syncopations of Brazilian rhythms. Over time, however, artists have focused on the seemingly improbable links between bossa nova, samba, choro, and his songs which sound magnificently in different rhythmic spheres, inviting us to rediscover his texts by arousing curiosity. ears of all generations and nationalities. Interpretations of songs by “two Georges” (Brassens and Moustaki) in bossa/samba mode have been explored since 2013 by Philippe Quevauviller (vocals), Fernando de Almeida Barros (guitar, vocals, arrangements) and Wellington Barros (piano). More recently other songs have flourished in choro mode and other Brazilian rhythms, arranged by Vitor Garbelotto (seven-string guitar), Roberto de Oliveira (trombone, mandolin) and Osman Martins (cavaquinho, percussion). Recordings gave birth to the project “Brassens dans tous ses états ” which brought together a large number of guest musicians (see page of the same name). Brassens Brasileiro thus offers an anthology of Brassens songs adapted into various Brazilian rhythms.
