Dick Annegarn – Chansons Agricoles

50 years of naturalist poetry. Who in France has written so many songs to honour the earth? “Sacré géranium”, “Bébé éléphant”, “Mireille”, “Vélo va”, “L’Orage”, “Quelle Belle Vallée” – Dick Annegarn doesn't only sing “Bruxelles”. The singer-songwriter has long lived on a farm at the foot of the Pyrenees. Studying agronomy in Dutch and French, he made simple, moving songs to sing blossom in people's minds. Nature is both a concern and a joy. An accomplished guitarist, the composer has had his songs performed by many contemporary celebrities: -M-, Calogéro, Raphaël, Nolwenn Leroy, Bashung, Souchon, Arno, Bénabar, Dany Boon and their children. Keeping this poetic and popular heritage alive in this way.

Audience members are invited to bring plants, shrubs or flowers to fill and decorate the stage. At the end of the poetic show they will take their greenery home. Lending a helping hand with the set-up in this way.

The musician even had a green guitar made by one of the country's finest luthiers, Thomas Fejoz. Harmonica, percussion and a few a cappella songs illustrate the variety and diversity of his art.

Music is the wind through the trees. Caring for nature, of which we are the children and which is our child. Sing.
