Singer/songwriter Bénabar emerged at the forefront of France's "chanson réaliste" motion, crafting uncommonly literary portraits of modern-day life informed by folk, jazz, and celluloid. Born Bruno Nicolini on June 16, 1969, in the Paris suburbia of Essonne, he began perusal trumpet at age octet, and afterwards completing school exhausted vI months in the U.S. There his longtime fascination with filmmaking grew, and upon returning plate he trained as a lensman and moving-picture show technician, at age 20 written material and guiding his first-class honours degree short film, Aught Lezard. In the decennary to follow Nicolini released two extra boxers, to the highest degree notably the Montreal Film Festival award-winning José Jeannette.

While touring with shop partner Patchol, Bénabar formed his possess dance orchestra in 1996, enlisting saxophonist Denis Grare, trumpeter Vincent Schaeffer, double bassist Stéphane Benveniste, and drummer Pascal Vignon.

Upon sign language with major label Zomba, Bénabar issued a self-titled album in September 2001, followed by an drawn-out term of enlistment in support of Henri Salvador. The LP went gold, and just 18 months later Bénabar issued the follow-up Les Risques du Métier. Another grinding term of enlistment schedule followed, yielding the concert set Alive au Grand Rex. With 2005's Reprise diethylstilboestrol Négociations, Bénabar issued his near familiar collection to date, eschewing the social commentary that was the earmark of previous records in favour of more explicitly autobiographic corporeal, including the lead single, "Maritie and Gilbert Carpentier."
