Henri Salvador is one of those rare performers who has exceptional taste in his choice of material and back up musicians and performs with great style and taste. His voice captures the deep rich tones of a first rate Latin vocalist often remembered from an earlier time.
He has performed duets with Rosa Passos on her CD " Amorosa" in a fabulous and sensual version of "Qeu Reste-T IL De No Amours," by Charles Trenet and their singing is a testament to his versalility with language and her rich stylings. The song is a knockout of collaboration.
This CD being reviewed has many selections for all tastes from the slow sexy poetic to the jazzed up standards of his repetoire.
This is a singer who is an "individual" and not a clone of any popular or trendy musical genre. Rain or shine, his singing is a perfect choice for all moods and it is never disappointing to this listener. There are nostalgic upbeat contempory selections to be savored. His choices are never predictable but the joy of his voice is always a pleasure.
