Les Ogres De Barback Comment Je Suis Devenu Voyageur (CD)

In the beginning, there are geese and a leisure center. One fine spring day, the large birds stop. The grass is soft, the water is clear, kids are throwing bread.

When winter returned, the geese did not leave. For the first time in hundreds of generations of annual migrations, they are becoming sedentary. Fred Burguière watched them a lot with his children, fed them and wondered why they didn't leave, as if to contradict Les Oiseaux de passage, the magnificent poem by Jean Richepin that Georges Brassens made into a song.

And How I became a traveler became the title of the twelfth album of the Ogres, an album of rooted nomads, great travelers who have built themselves a house, adventurers who know where they are going...

Fred, Sam, Alice and Mathilde Burguière offer sixteen new songs that are as much a road book as a collective diary, a meditation on the state of the world as a committed scrapbook. We hear gypsy rhythms and rock impulses, echoes of Paris and accents from the South, winds from the East and perfumes from the Orient, big voices and small children, well-installed pianos and instruments from elsewhere. , romanticisms and anger, todays and dreams, maybes and if-you-will – the Ogres once again, open hands and wide hearts.
