Event Details : 'An Homage To Serge Gainsbourg' for World Music Day. 
Stiff Kittens Inc and blueFROG present 'An Homage To Serge Gainsbourg' for World Music Day in collaboration with Alliance Francaise De Delhi. A project centred around the songs of iconic French composer/singer Serge Gainsbourg.
For those not in the know, Serge Gainsbourg was a French singer, songwriter, poet, composer, artist, actor and director. Gainsbourg's extremely varied musical style and individuality make him extremely difficult to categorise. His legacy has been firmly established, and he is often regarded as one of the world's most influential popular musicians.
His lyrical brilliance in French has left an extraordinary legacy. His music, always progressive, covered many styles: jazz, ballads, mambo, lounge, reggae, pop (including adult contemporary pop, kitsch pop, ye-ye pop, '80s pop, pop-art pop, prog pop, space-age pop, psychedelic pop, and erotic pop), funk, disco, calypso, Africana, bossa nova, and rock n' roll. He has gained a following in the English-speaking world with many non-mainstream artists finding his arrangements highly influential.
Production company 'Stiff Kittens Inc' (Medicine Show, Ska! Ska! Ska!) have put together a revue with a strong line up of 13 musicians and dancers featuring 25 songs of the French composer. As well as Gainsbourg, songs of his that were originally performed by artists such as Brigitte Bardot, Francoise Hardy, Jane Birkin and France Gall will be interpreted by various singers. Expect to hear classic songs such as Initials BB, Intoxicated Man, La Javanaise, Histoire de Melody Nelson, Laisse tombeur les filles, 69 anee erotique, Je T’Aime..Mon Non Plus, Lemon Incest, Bonnie and Clyde etc.
