Chansons D'aller

Together with her sister Valérie, singer-actress Nathalie Joly here takes us on a rich musical journey that visits distant shores, from France to Cuba, Mexico, Brazil and Algeria. The songs here, whose rhythms range from samba to rumba via the Arab sounds of Andalusia, are sung in different languages yet deal with the same subjects, particularly our rapports with foreign lands, love and life itself. This album is filled with poetry and saudade, reflecting the universal nature of our musical heritage through the mixed identities of those great seaports that cause our collective consciousness to vibrate.
