About this concert
La tournée d’Adieux… Pierre Perret c’est un répertoire qui, sans cesse, navigue entre humour et tendresse, libertinage et analyse sociale, facétie et révolte. On y constatera que, posant des questions en abondance sous des airs naïfs et parfois enfantins, Pierre Perret reste avant tout le champion de la vérité, dénonçant mine de rien, d’une écriture précise, toutes les bassesses, ignominies et inégalités.Pierre c’est l’œuvre de tant d’années où cet homme, malgré le décervelage des temps présents, persiste à chercher le mot juste dans une phrase soignée. Tant et tant de chansons… M’on pt’it Loup, Lily, Le zizi, Ton Cristobal, La Cage aux oiseaux, Les jolies colonies de vacances, Bercy Madeleine nous ont accompagnés.

Pierre Perret Biography
Pierre Perret (born July 9, 1934 in Castelsarrasin), is a French singer and composer. Pierre Perret resides in the city of Nangis.
He spent a long part of his childhood in the café which his parents owned, where he learned work jargon and slang. At the age of 14 he signed up to the conservatoire de musique de Toulouse and to a dramatic arts institute. In the mean time, he set up his first band of 4 musicians in his own name, with whom he played at events throughout the region. In 1957, he was snapped up by Eddie Barclay who signed him on. It was in the studio of Barclay where he met his future wife, Simone Mazaltarim.
In 1958 Perret carried on touring round Parisian cabaret bars and crossed France and Africa as a part of the American group, The Platters. In Novemeber that year, a pleurisy forced him to take two years off in a sanatorium.
A master of the subtleties of the French language and French slang (he even rewrote some of Jean de La Fontaine's fables), his songs are often cheeky (for example Le zizi (The willy)) , asking questions in a seemingly naive child's tone, but has written more serious political songs, such as La bête est revenue, La petite kurde, Vert de Colère ou Lily.
