Serge LAMA
If an air that best defines the character and career of Serge Lama, it's time the refrain:"It was the time I was reading the communal my voice almost as much as my pants I was almost a child of the ball. "Serge Lama walks always this popular image of a jovial and optimistic artist. What a fine example of fighting spirit and courage in the face of adversity! From small to large Chauvier Lama, so many struggles, and success, and finally what a success!Despite a difficult childhood, an accident that almost cost him his life, and wandered in the wilderness, this gifted singer, author of most of his texts, remains today an undisputed artist. Very present in the media to honor his hearty laugh and warm, Lama marks the musical landscape of eternal success: An island of Superman, to women women women, red balloons, The little women of Pigalle , I am sick,. Recalling a stunning career. Time of the munchiesSerge was born in Bordeaux Chauvier February 11, 1943. Her mother takes care of home and his only son while his father, George, trying to break into song. This home has Creusois indeed a strong baritone voice but not perseverance Aura, a few years later, his son. He has a career as "local", still singing with Upstream Marcel, Georges Guétary or Bourvil. Hoping to see shine in the name of Chauvier top billing, George takes his wife and son in Paris. We are in 1950 and little Serge, down from its seven years, admires his father's unwavering. But Mom Chauvier not see the song of the same eye. For her it is a profession of mountebank who do not feed. Despite a contract at the Theatre des Capucines triggering Serge true vocation as a singer, the glory will not come. Bored by the successive attacks of his wife, George decides to give up singing for a more lucrative job as a sales representative:"One day Dad sold margarine For Mom can sing in her kitchen. "The time of revengeWe are in 1955 and this neglect is the effect of a shock to the small Serge. It is now certain, he "avenge" his father and sing him, on the other side of the boulevard, at the Olympia. He wrote his first songs at the same time. High School Vanves, near Paris, he began drawing and theater. This tall young man gruff and solitary has one thing in mind: to sing and to live. At eighteen, he left home and lived off odd jobs, until the war catches up. France sent its youth then get lost in Algeria, where she is learning the hard of death and war. For over a year, Serge survive in the Sahara. On his return to France, he attended the Conservatoire de Mireille, takes the stage name of Lama, and sets to music his first texts. Making the rounds of cabarets, he meets Liliane Benelli, pianist of the Lock, famous cabaret. She became his mistress and his mentor. With it, it occurs in the first part of Barbara and Brassens, and records in late 1964 its first 45 (Fifteen years). Finally, he takes his revenge. While recording a few regular 45s, Serge wrote for others and forges a solid reputation. Time of the tragedyBut a dramatic event changes everything and career. On 12 August 1965, he suffered a terrible car accident in which death is Liliane. The singer never did recover from this shock. Physically destroyed, it takes more than a year to walk again. His next record, it's lying on a stretcher that saves them. Demonstrating an extraordinary self-denial, he gets up, stronger than ever, richer than before, but bruised the bottom of his soul. Moved, the profession would gather around the young man and gives a concert in support of him whose profits are entirely transferred. Still recovering, but without ceasing to be productive, the singer recorded in June 1967 The red balloons. Lama finally shines through the eyes of the public as such nostalgic and tender. His first album, From adventures adventures, appeared in October 68 and marks the beginning of a long series of tubes. Those he plays a part (the time the refrain, From adventures adventures. ) And for which it fills the halls (Bobino, l'Olympia, the Palais des Congres,. ) But also those he wrote for others (Mouskouri, Greek, Regine, Zizi Jeanmaire,. ) Because the singer is primarily a writer of great talent. Happy associationsAnd generous sharer, Lama couple works. That he formed with his wife Daisy Brown for a few years, then he married Michelle (who shares his life and still today) and with whom he had a son, Frederick, in 1971, those that form with his friends Songwriters (Yves Gilbert, Alice Dona,. ). Of these associations will be born many artistic success: the 70 years are undoubtedly the Lama. This fills the rooms with tens of thousands without surrendering to megalomania. It remains a simple artist, poet and slave labor lecher. Love, friendship, life is celebrated beautifully in her songs sometimes melancholic and sometimes explosive. This album stands out, however, throughout his career: Lama father and son spell the end of 1981 and represents an outcome of the passion of Serge: "avenge" his father for his failure. Dark contradiction: the two artists would probably never have existed together, as the passion of one is born of the failure of the other. BonaparteIn the early 80s, Lama breaks the monotony of success and began writing and producing a musical. The theme is bold: Napoleon, selected more for physical resemblance to a supposed passion for the Emperor. Despite the difficulties of the theme, comedy is a great success for years, and Serge grew up in spring, though wearied by critics and journalists. The accidental death of both parents in a car accident in December 1984 prompted the singer to distance himself from the media. It starts on a journey through the desert, during which his recorded output slowed. Without falling into oblivion, it is more discreet. To demonstrate his passion for theater renaissance in the 90s, folk art for which he starts from scratch, and reinforces his image with the public accessible and friendly. Then spend 90 years, between songs, theater and radio. With the millennium Lama is back stronger than ever, with a splendid album, worthy of the greatest artists. Sheetfed, seven years after his last studio album, awakens the passions with fourteen pieces of bravery, tender (If you want it), sensual (When do we make love?), Winning (I realize I beautiful women) and poetic (the allotments). He had been left off gradually to the siding artists dusty. There he is again, amazing, chaining him to sixty years, radio, TV, concerts and interviews with ease and humor pests. The Grand Lama is back. Google machine translation: Serge LAMA's original bio |
