Stop at ‘Les Feuilles mortes’, which became ‘Souvenirs’ under the voices of Barbara Guillaume and Jean-Claude Julien.

Stop at “Les Feuilles mortes,” which became “Souvenans” under the voices of Barbara Guillaume and Jean-Claude Julien. More than a cover, the author of this article sees it as a metamorphosis: from European autumn to the Haitian tropics, from Prévert’s nostalgia to the musicality of Creole, the same emotion is reinvented. Tonight, we invite you to read this article, watch the clip that inspired it, and tell us what you think. Does a work change when it changes language? Does Creole reveal another memory of this song? Read, listen, watch… then share your thoughts. Culture is also a conversation.
