New concert by the group “Univers Brassens”

10 years ago, Jacques Barnabé created the group “Univers Brassens”. Loubressac was one of the first villages where he performed. From concert to concert, the fame of this group has grown to become today a recognized and high-quality musical ensemble. Last Friday, August 2, for the 6th time in Loubressac, Jacques Barnabé and his musicians did not fail. In front of some 140 people, the concert began with “Y a de la joie” by Charles Trénet, as if to counter the gloomy spirit of our times… Many of Brassens’ songs were performed brilliantly, with a pleasant and quality surprise, the arrival on stage of Pierre Moles, mayor of Bretenoux, singing with talent a song by this great artist. The singer Sarah Lazergues enchanted the audience again with an excerpt from the repertoire of Édith Piaf. Then Jacques Barnabé, sometimes in a duet with Sarah, and with the talent that we know him for, covered songs by Yves Jamait, Anne Sylvestre, Alain Leprest, Hugues Aufray, Francis Cabrel, Léo Ferré, etc., with a repertoire that was always renewed, more than 2 hours of show, a triumph to the key and several encores. The evening was concluded by the interpretation of La Montagne by Jean Ferrat in a duet with Pierre Moles and sung by the public. It is appropriate to underline once again the talent of the musicians who accompany Jacques Barnabé: Bernard Chabirand on double bass, Christian Daguet on piano and accordion, Marc Plaisant on guitar. The singer Sarah Lazergues has happily completed this musical group for 3 years now, which has become essential in the region and beyond. He will perform in Tulle on October 26, 2024, at 8:30 p.m., at the Salle de l’Auzelou, and in Alvignac on December 8, 2024, at 4:30 p.m., at the Espace Sasmayou.
