Barcella (Mathieu Ladevèze)

Author, composer and performer, this native of Reims ranks among the most creative artists of his generation, He is a prodigious writer, inspired both by urban cultures and the tradition of Chanson française’s lyricism. Taking as much from classic French singer/actor André Bourvil as from hip-hop artist Oxmo Puccino, Barcella infuses his songs with humour and wordplay, irony and imagination: at one moment grandiose, the next intimate and self-deprecating. And he’s a master of styles, ignoring both the politically correct and any passing fads.
