Discover the fourth episode in the series Du signe au son<\/em> ou l’art de l’interpr\u00e9tation. In the spotlight is one of the singers who marked the history of French chanson: Monique Andr\u00e9e Serf, known as Barbara, who passed away 25 years ago. <\/p>\n\n

\u201cOne day, I went to hear Edith Piaf. She was singing on the boulevards, at the Th\u00e9\u00e2tre de l’ABC. I remember being glued to my seat. Her voice made both my eyes and my heart cry.\u201d (Barbara, Il \u00e9tait un piano noir… Interrupted memories <\/a><\/em>)<\/p>\n\n

The power of interpretation has reached Barbara’s mind! And shortly afterwards, it will be Barbara’s turn to arouse the same emotions in her audience. <\/p>\n\n

As a singer-songwriter and complete artist, Barbara will be able to bring her songs to life. Her poetry, imbued with her personal experience, is in harmony with her music and interpretation. Barbara sings, quite simply, but her art moves, captivates and fascinates. Many of her songs have become staples of French chanson: Chapeau bas<\/em>, Dis, quand reviendras-tu?<\/em>, Nante<\/em>, G\u00f6ttingen<\/em>, Le Mal de vivre<\/em>, Ma plus belle histoire d’amour<\/em>, L’Aigle noir <\/em>and many more. <\/p>\n\n
