For over 80 years, November 11 has been a very meaningful day in France: the commemoration of the armistice of World War I. Yet this date was particularly significant in 1940. On this very day, France had been defeated and was occupied by German nazi forces. On this day, the commemoration took on a specific dimension of patriotism and demand for freedom. Anticipating this, the Paris police headquarters forbade any kind of demonstration. However, the occupied Parisians, students in particular, could not tolerate this new insult and felt they had to fight and resist. This CD features reports by participants and historic recordings explaining the events of November 11, 1940, as a tribute to this first movement of spontaneous resistance on French territory.

After the excellent reception given to Modern Swing (2007) and A br�le pourpoint (2014), we at last have the third album from the group Gadjo Combo. Once again they've brushed aside the codes and rules laid down by the genre's governors, and these four disciples of Django have made gypsy jazz a basis for their own creations, turning it into a living repertoire fashioned in their own image. These artisans form a quartet that has been together for twenty years, and even if they admit they were in love with Jimi Hendrix before Django, they've given this music a shine and veneer that's pleasing and original. The resulting pieces are just as delightful and full of colour; and the message in their work remains equally sincere.

This 2-CD set features an adaptation for children of RABELAIS’s masterpiece: "Gargantua". In a fanciful medieval France populated with giants, kings, and weird characters, the “little” Gargantua – a baby yet a giant – learns about life with all Rabelais’ extravagance. And this excessiveness is present in each and every child! Still today, we can learn by seeing the world through Gargantua’s eyes. More than being a simple tale of the past, it is a lesson in self-development. Interpreted in French by the famous French actors Philippe Noiret and Jacques Villeret with 30 other actors and musicians.
