This title and the entire 2021 vintage were therefore born out of a long artistic maturation and the decisive meeting in 2015 with Vianney, the star singer of today.

For this reunion with the news Gérard Lenorman wished, in addition to Vianney, to surround himself also with what the French song does best.

A man he never wanted to meet and who has already inspired a song,
Warum mein Vater, Why my father
...
