Les Chats Noir (The Black Cats) is the self-titled debut album by this unique group from France. It's on the
Forward Music Italy label and brings together many musical styles and genres from the French Music Scene: Chanson, Jazz, Swing and even the group's version of Video Killed The Radio Star!
The album is based on an idea by Renato Gattone. It features an accordion, a manouche guitar and a double bass. Les Chats Noirs’ first album mixes traditional atmospheres and new musical horizons. It's an album full of Parisian feeling, evoked by a sinuous voice that warms the contemporary taste, also underlined by a Rhodes piano. A narration weaving together music and poetry, moving from Baudelaire’s verses to the pop music of a century later.
Forward Music Italy invites you to "Take a trip to the Paris of the 40s with Les Chats Noirs (The Black Cats). An elegant quartet that plays the most famous French melodies such as la vie en rose, the mer, that reste-t-il de nos amours and even lesser known favorites. A voice, an accordion, a manouche guitar and a double bass create a light, fun and "absolument délicieuse" atmosphere."
