“Oh he’s young, he’s so handsome, he’s the Claude I listened to during my youth,” exclaims Monique, from Toulouse.
The black and white face of Claude Nougaro has just been revealed this Thursday, March 7 afternoon on Place Saint-Pierre in the Pink City to the tune of the song
O Toulouse
.
With a concentrated air, the singer who died just twenty years ago, now contemplates the Garonne, which he celebrated in his songs.
His voice died twenty years ago and yet Toulouse still vibrates as much for Claude Nougaro.
A few days after the anniversary of his death in Paris on March 4, 2004, a new giant photo of the interpreter of
Petit Taureau
and
Armstrong
was revealed by the town hall of Toulouse, at the corner of rue Pargaminières and rue Valade.
Nine meters high and six meters wide, it replaces the old black and white photo by Claude Nougaro, faded by time since its installation in 2007.
