Our Take

RAIMU takes us on a nostalgic journey from the smoky bars of Marseille to the grand stages of the Comédie Française, covering the iconic period of 1930-1942. This collection is a true gem for any lover of vintage French music and theatre.

The album opens with the infectious energy of Alcazar de Marseille, with the booming brass section and playful accordion creating a vibrant atmosphere that transports you straight to the heart of the city. Raimu's rich vocals soar over the lively instrumentation, capturing the essence of the era with flair and charm.

As the album progresses, we are treated to a variety of styles and moods, from the bittersweet balladry of La Belle Aventure to the jaunty dance rhythms of La Fausse Maîtresse. Raimu's versatility as a performer shines through, showcasing his ability to effortlessly shift from drama to comedy with ease.

The transition to the Comédie Française material is seamless, with Raimu commanding the stage with his powerful presence and impeccable delivery. Songs like La Malédiction and Les Caves du Vatican highlight his dramatic prowess, while tracks like The Imaginary Invalid bring a light-hearted touch to the proceedings.

Overall, RAIMU (1930-1942) is a delightful trip down memory lane, filled with timeless tunes and captivating performances. Whether you're a seasoned fan of French theatre or a curious newcomer, this album is sure to entertain and enchant in equal measure. Vive la musique!
