Yesterday we spent un très agréable afternoon listening to la musique française at Alliance Française Fete de la Musique. It was an indoor event making it a leetle bit tricky light-wise although I'm not too unhappy with the shot above. I thought M. Silvio couldn't possibly look more French, but.. he may be Italian :) minor detail, his rendition of 'Sous le ciel de Paris'.. si bon! If you would like to refresh your memory of this tune check out the version here by the super fabulous ZAZ. incroyable! Happy Monday, take care and stay safe..
Portraits of musicians are always good subjects. What fun it is to be part of an audience sat a performance like this. Back from our Alaska cruise. Missed all of you; come visit! Met two women from Melbourne--very smart, well-travelled and interesting!
ReplyDeleteHope you had a good week-end!
Great photo. He does look French.
ReplyDeleteTres French, Grace!
ReplyDeleteI think Clinkscale accordions are Scottish too - another minor detail! Never mind it's still a great photo.
ReplyDeleteTerrific shot! I especially like the blurred foot playing the tambourine.
ReplyDeleteHow nice to linger here with you
ReplyDeleteWhat a fantastic portrait of this musician. You did and excellent job getting this one.
ReplyDeleteClose enough.
ReplyDeleteLovely portrait of this musician playing his music. Glad you enjoyed hearing him. Photos are good, but miss the melody.
ReplyDeleteGreat shot Grace and it looks fabulous in b&w. Nice video too!
ReplyDelete...I hope that he sounds as good as he looks.
ReplyDeleteGood B&W.
ReplyDeleteIf he's wearing a beret.... he's definitely French!

ReplyDeleteIt's a good clip with lots of Parisian scenery and atmosphere. Great photo.
ReplyDeleteHope you enjoyed the music.
ReplyDeleteWonderful shot. Whatever his ethnicity he captures "the look." And you have captured a mood. It looks almost 1950s to me.
ReplyDeleteLooks fabulous Grace.
ReplyDeleteAwesome monochrome click.

ReplyDeleteUm abraço e boa semana.

You hear French music so seldom played nowadays. I always loved the chansons on the radio. Makes me nostalgic when I hear the music, nice photo and memories!
ReplyDeleteBeautiful b&w, looks like a photo of the 60s :)
ReplyDeleteNow I really do crave a baguette, Grace! I´d even say yes to a glas of red wine!
ReplyDeleteMy father has an accordion similar to this.
