about

The band Yules and a string quartet invite us to rediscover Leonard Cohen and in particular the titles of the cult album "I'm your man" arranged for the occasion.
"For a long time we wanted to strip Leonard of his synthesizers and hear real strings on "Take this Waltz". More than just a simple tribute album, the idea to cover an entire album and to offer him an acoustic case came to us. We wanted to propose a rereading of these 8 songs. With the help of two arrangers and a string quartet from the conservatory, we will interpret a "naked" version of the album "I'm Your Man". Through this album, Leonard Cohen, classified in the obscure category of "singer for our parents", had something to say to the younger generation of the time, we did not come out unscathed. Twenty-four years later, six songs out of eight are among the unavoidable hits still played on stage. " Yules

about

YULES France

Guillaume et Bertrand Charret, ce sont Yules : Une histoire de famille, d’amour fraternel, de filiation. Sans jamais virer au vilain esprit de chapelle musicale, l’univers de Yules est d’abord anglo-saxon et fait la part très belle à ce que les deux rives de l’Atlantique ont pu produire de plus inspiré en matière de songwriting: Leonard Cohen, Randy Newman... Plus récemment The Shins ou Radiohead ... more
