Georges Brassens Pocket

The biography of Georges Brassens by Martin Pénet , illustrated by José Correa and accompanied by 1 compact disc.

Death of stage fright, George Brassens would undoubtedly have preferred to only be sung by others. This was also the case at the beginning with Patachou , who convinced him to defend his works himself. Since his death, many educational and cultural establishments have borne his name, and there are countless performances of his songs around the world.

Paradoxically, it was his refusal of conventions which led Brassens to become a absolute reference of the French song . His sense of friendship, his texts in favor of those left behind and his denunciation of hypocrisies of all kinds always hit the mark.
