PART 1 OF A COMPLETE OVERVIEW.......2002-06-07

MOUSTAKI started writing songs in the fifties for EDITH PIAF and then for SERGE REGGIANI and a few others.He had to wait in 1969 with LE MÉTEQUE to score on his own as a singer.Patience as they say is the key word for that man born in EGYPT who came to FRANCE when he was a young man of 18.This collection of four cds is a complete overview of his works.Each one can be bought seperately or in one box set.RACINES ET ERRANCES contains classics like ALEXANDRIE and LE MÉTEQUE and other carefully selection of his works.MOUSTAKI's voice is always soft and sensitive.The man is obviously un apotre de la paix(excuse my french).I am particularly fond of ELOGE DE LA PARESSE being a celebration of lazyness.Maybe a few of you out there will find this singer a little boring and repetitive if you don't speak FRENCH.What you should do is find yourself a girlfriend who speaks the language and the miracle will happen as she explains to you the meanings of the songs.Love and music is always the perfect match.
