Serge Gainsbourg

Reference : GAINSBARRE

2nd portrait of Serge Gainsbourg's real name Lucien Ginsburg, born and died in Paris (1928 - 1991), is a French singer-songwriter, poet, pianist, painter, screenwriter, director, author, actor and filmmaker. Appearing late on stage, during the "Rive Gauche" in Paris at the end of the 1950s, he caught up with his time and took the lead with eternal refrains, flashes of poetry and various provocations that made him, the son of Russian immigrants, one of the tutelary figures of French artistic life. The cynical verb, the dandy elegance, the great poetry and the cockroach blows of "Gainsbarre", drowned in alcohol and cigarettes, shaped the legend of an author, composer and performer whose work and influence continued to grow after his death. Song, jazz, Latin or African rhythms, yéyé or psychedelic rock, reggae, funk, rap and film music passed under the filter of his modern pen, which has left many French classics.
