Serge Lama has decided to celebrate his 50-year career by offering his fans a greatest hits album entitled La Balade Du Poète. It is a walk through his best songs that includes three unreleased tracks that he wrote in his teens. He will present this album as part of a tour throughout France.
This ever-popular artist, renowned for his deep voice, took part at the 1971 Eurovision Song Contest representing France with Un Jardin Sur La Terre.
Serge Lama discovered his vocation at an early age. Indeed, he spent most of his childhood in the music hall watching his father’s performances as a professional baritone and it was not long before he vowed to follow in his footsteps. As a teenager he also penned a handful of fairly decent songs that had not been released until now when he has decided to include three of these gems on this album.
He is the author of thousands of unforgettable songs and some of them are part of this extraordinary double album such as Je Suis Malade composed by Alice Dona (who is also the author of his Eurovision entry), D’aventures En Aventures, La Vie Lilas, Une Île… and other less well-known songs.
The album contains thirty-nine tracks in total, including twenty re-recorded songs with new musical arrangements or even new lyrics such as Rien Ne Vaut Vous which he has completely rewritten the verses of or La Fille Dans L’église where he added a new verse.
After he was forced to cancel his tour in late 2011 due to his hip problems, Serge Lama is back in top form and, from January 2013, he will be stopping off at the major cities around the country with more than forty confirmed dates already including the nine concerts to take place at the prestigious Olympia auditorium in Paris in mid-February.
For the occasion, the singer chose to create a new official website which opened a few days ago.
