About this concert
Pierre Perret Dans un spectacle plein de générosité, Pierre Perret retrace sa colossale carrière musicale de 60 années et nous replonge dans un univers à la fois léger et engagé. Est-il encore nécessaire de présenter ce grand auteur compositeur interprète humaniste au ton enjoué ? Avec plus de 450 chansons à son actif, une quinzaine de livres et deux films, Pierre Perret est devenu au fil du temps une figure incontournable dans le paysage de la chanson française. Du «Zizi» à «La Corinne», en passant par «Lily» et tant d’autres classiques, dont de nouvelles créations, l’ami Pierrot est radieux au moment de fêter ses 60 ans de carrière avec son public. Ses chansons ne cessent de poser des questions, sur un ton certes enfantin et apparemment naïf, mais toujours pertinent. L’artiste de 82 ans se démène pour nous divertir tout en dénonçant la moindre injustice. Embarquez pour un voyage entre humour, émotion et tendresse, qui fera rêver trois générations.

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.
