Jean Guidoni

Against a backdrop of tango, blues, sometimes rock, or simple piano melodies, Jean Guidoni, a man of the stage, has slowly imposed a highly personal universe, made up of his own wounds and imbued with a provocation that has seen him shunned by the general public. His sometimes complex work, which has received numerous awards from the profession and focuses on themes of exile, show business, the night and homosexuality, and which is finally revered by new generations, deserves greater media attention now that it seems to be more serenely supported by the artist himself. The albums Je Marche Dans les Villes in 1981 and Tigre de Porcelaine in 1987 were awarded the Grand Prix de l'Académie Charles-Cros, testifying to the importance of this unclassifiable artist. In 2007, the album La Pointe Rouge gained recognition with contributions from Dominique A, Katerine, Mathias Malzieu and Jeanne Cherhal. Two tributes to Jacques Prévert(Étranges Étrangers, 2008) and Allain Leprest(Paris - Milan, 2014) follow.
