“I sing of hope and hope. » These are the words of Hugues Aufray on the exceptional concert he will give on Sunday, November 24, at 3 p.m., at the Mirage cabaret in Mézos.
With more than sixty years of career, this emblematic artist continues to make all generations sing. A true icon of French song, since his first appearance at the Olympia in 1966, he has left his mark on generations with poetic and committed songs, notably “Céline”, which will follow him throughout his career.
“Who was this Céline? A character totally out of my imagination. At the time, I had more admiration for my big brother, who had gone to Canada to live his American dream,” says Hugues Aufray.
Simplicity
The artist has always had a privileged place in the hearts of youth movements, scouts or scouts, transcended by his ability to bring people together beyond origins and beliefs. His music is an ode to the simple and traditional poetry that rocked our elders.
Hugues Aufray, influenced by Bob Dylan, who asked to meet him, takes a fairly critical look at French song today. “I don’t recognize myself there, yet I consider myself a modern man. » A simple and affordable man, he who admits to being a tenant in Marly-le-Roi, in a house belonging to the descendants of the sculptor Aristide Maillol, devotes his days to painting, sculpture and, of course, to song, notably with a work dedicated to Thomas Pesquet, “because he belongs to the new world, modern lyrics, but in a style of music not of today, rather that of the 1930s”, explains the singer.
This concert promises to be an exceptional moment during which Hugues Aufray will share with his audience (not just white heads), with all simplicity and sincerity, his most beautiful songs. An appointment not to be missed.
