Release Notes:
Live at Bercy and Lyon 2006
Singer/songwriter BΘnabar emerged at the vanguard of
France's "chanson rΘaliste" movement, crafting uncommonly
literary portraits of contemporary life informed by folk,
jazz, and film. Born Bruno Nicolini on June 16, 1969, in
the Paris suburb of Essonne, he began studying trumpet at
age eight, and after completing school spent six months in
the U.S. There his longtime fascination with filmmaking
grew, and upon returning home he trained as a photographer
and film technician, at age 20 writing and directing his
first short film, Nada Lezard. In the decade to follow
Nicolini released two additional shorts, most notably the
Montreal Film Festival award-winning JosΘ Jeannette.
However, his ambitions to direct a feature-length project
were stalled by financing troubles, and in the interim he
turned to television, writing for the Canal+ production H.
At age 25 Nicolini also began writing songs, teaching
himself piano, and performing in nightclubs under the
alias BΘnabar, inspired by the famed clown BarnabΘ. While
touring with frequent collaborator Patchol, BΘnabar formed
his own band in 1996, enlisting saxophonist Denis Grare,
trumpeter Vincent Schaeffer, double bassist StΘphane
Benveniste, and drummer Pascal Vignon. Dubbed BΘnabar et
AssociΘs, they issued their debut LP, La Petite Monnaie,
in early 1998, spending much of the year to come on tour.
Upon signing with major label Zomba, BΘnabar issued a
self-titled album in September 2001, followed by an
extended tour in support of Henri Salvador. The LP went
gold, and just 18 months later BΘnabar issued the
follow-up Les Risques du MΘtier. Another grinding tour
schedule followed, yielding the concert set Live au Grand
Rex. With 2005's Reprise des NΘgociations, BΘnabar issued
his most intimate collection to date, eschewing the social
commentary that was the hallmark of previous records in
favor of more explicitly autobiographical material,
including the lead single, "Maritie and Gilbert
Carpentier."
