NINO FERRER (ABO#042)

NINO FERRER
ET MONTCUQ, C'EST DU POULET ?
(1965-1993)

Nino Ferrer sadly died in 1998 and let behind him a huge work almost anyone seems to want to remember. Indeed, when you talk about him to any french person, he or she will tell you about his very first songs, a bit comic as "Le Téléfon", "Mirza" or "Ho Hé Hein Bon". That's a bit reducing his work to that kind of "music". In fact Nino was a real music lover, admiring bluesmen and funkmen as he says in his early song "Je Veux Être Noir" (I Want To Be A Black). With his first real LP (Métronimie, 1972) Nino shows how talented he is. Some kind of jazzy-bluesy songs really ambitious and nice to be heard. His masterpiece. Until 1979 with the Blanat album he brang the same policy to his music travelling from one side of the music universe, to another... Finally really underground, he didn't made his place on the french media, wanting another "Téléfon". In the 80s, Ferrer's music became much more mainstream but still nice.
