French folk-rock icon Renaud was the poet laureate of the urban Paris receive, informative the dark underbelly of the City of Light via the with-it, politically charged slang later embraced by the rap music generation. Despite his subject matter, Renaud Séchan was himself the product of a middle class background. Born in Paris' 14th arrondissement on May 11, 1952, he was one of vI children natural to a teacher world Health Organization moonlighted writing detective thrillers. A wretched pupil with a distinct anti-authority streak, Renaud was passionate some politics from an early historic period, and was an participating participant in the landmark educatee revolts of May 1968. During a monthlong pupil sit in at Sorbonne University, he began writing his first original songs, and after quitting school worked a series of blue-collar jobs while pursuing a life history as an player. After a stint with a theatrical company including future stars Coluche and Miou Miou, Renaud worked in a Paris bookstall, on occasion busking for redundant change from passers-by. One day producer Paul Lederman caught him and an accordionist friend playing on a Paris street corner and invited them to do at the CafConc, a new café and dramatics he was possibility on the Champs Elysées. When the friend was called to serve in the military, Renaud took the stage as a solo act, playing his now-extensive repertory of original political anthems including "Hexagone" and "Camarade Bourgeois." The CafConc made him something of a case célèbre in Paris left-winger circles, and in 1975 he issued his debut LP, Amoureux de Paname, a book steeped in the disillusion and angst of the twentysomething generation. Songs like "Société Tu M'auras Pas" enshrined Renaud as the voice of Paname (Parisian patois for the city's suburbs), but despite his initial flush of succeeder he still dreamed of pursuing a vocation in drama, spending most all of 1977 co-starring in Martin Lamotte's play Le Secret de Zonga. His sophomore LP, Laisse Béton, in the end hit retail in 1978, and its claim cut topped the French pop charts, vaulting Renaud to internal stardom and popularizing "Verlan," the coded French slang sourced for its lyrics. For the 1979 follow-up, Ma Gonzesse, Renaud explored more personal and versed themes than on previous efforts. The record proven another massive success, culminating in a sold-out, seven-day live stint at Paris' noted Théâtre de l'Hôtel de Ville. Buoyed by the hits "Dans Mon HLM" and "Les Aventures de Gérard Lambert," 1980's Marche à l'Ombre was some other smash hit, and Renaud washed-out the total month of March headlining Paris' Bobino Theatre, a residency that yielded 2 single out concert LPs, Live à Bobino and Le P'tit Bal du Samedi Soir. Despite his popularity, the isaac Bashevis Singer was not without his critics, world Health Organization questioned what right a multi-millionaire champion on the cusp of eld 30 had writing and vocalizing songs articulating themes of urban despair, youthful rebellion, and socioeconomic struggle. Renaud responded by turning inward, populating 1981's Le Retour de Gérard Lambert with precipitously evoked narratives spanning the spectrum of human conduct and emotion. The album likewise included a much-acclaimed anti-drug hymn, "La Blanche." Renaud continued his maturation with 1983's Dès Que le Vent Soufflera. His most tender, self-examining record to date, its well-grounded mostly derelict his key signature folk-rock feeler for a effectual inspired by mainstream French pop, a formula that generated his best-selling album to date. In 1985 Renaud founded the Ethiopian famine charity governance Chanteurs Pour l'Ethiopie, and with friend Franck Langolff composed the all-star benefit single of the same discover, marketing more than than a million records. That same yr he issued the solo LP Mistral Gagnant, recorded in the U.S. with producer Jean-Philippe Goude. The June 1986 motorcycle accident that claimed the life of his longtime acquaintance, the storied anti-establishment comic Coluche, was the inspiration behind the 1988 album Putain de Camion. While a commercial letdown, the record was withal widely acclaimed by the press out and earned Renaud the Ville de Paris plunder, the Ministère de la Culture Prize, and the SACEM Award. Politics returned to the vanguard for 1991's Marchand de Cailloux, an album inspired by the Gulf War and the ongoing strife in Northern Ireland. That same yr, Renaud co-starred in film producer Claude Berri's epic adaptation of the Emile Zola novel Germinal, and spell motion-picture photography in northerly France he began shape on Cante el'Nord, a 1993 album spotlighting the traditional music of the region. By contrast, Marseille was the inspiration behind 1995's A la Bell de Mai, a assembling of original songs that too paid tribute to long-suffering rebel icons including Che Guevara, Emiliano Zapata, and Pancho Villa. With 1996's Renaud Chante Brassens, Renaud nonrecreational tribute to his spiritual antecedent George Brassens, application 23 of the tardy French icon's songs and dubbing Brassens "a poet-rebel against all institutions." Although the record was warmly received, Renaud's life story shortly went into disembarrass fall. He detached from his married woman of close to deuce decades and suffered a nervous crack-up, at the same time battling inebriant ill-treat. He toured Germany and Ireland in 1997, just otherwise disappeared from the live electric circuit until late 1999, touring small concert venues throughout France in the company of piano player Alain Lantry and guitarist Jean-Pierre Buccolo. Originally scheduled to twain trey months, the tour or else extended into the undermentioned summer, followed in early 2001 by a two-week trek through Quebec. That same yr Renaud earned a lifetime accomplishment laurels at the Victoires de la Musique awards. No less significantly, he was the guinea pig of Hexagone 2001, a collection of remixes masterminded by contemporary hip-hop artists. Finally, in mid-2002 Renaud returned with Boucan d'Enfer, his get-go new material in seven days. An unflinchingly honest vocal cycle particularization his struggles with low and drink, the album sold shut to five hundred,000 copies in its outset workweek of handout. A sold-out 170-date circuit followed, with an April 2003 date at the Lille Zenith documented via the unrecorded disc Tournée d'Enfer. In early 2005 Renaud produced the eponymous debut LP by singer Romane Serda, world Health Organization became his married woman that August. At year's end, he too published a children's book, Le Petit Oiseau Qui Chantait Faux. With 2006's Rouge Sang, Renaud returned to the protest sprightliness of his graeco-Roman work, decrying the climb of right extremists and bourgeois bohemians alike.
