The debut album is maybe what
the admirers of this great guitarist remember more readily. It 's also
the album that gives Bensusan notoriety by winning the Grand Prix du
disque Folk and the Rose d’Or at Montreux Festival in 1976.
The cover presents a picture of a young Bensusan, the work of Philippe
du Janeyrand. The graphics of this memorable album are made by Susan
Marsh. And perhaps, this album is the artist's work closer to folk
È
il disco d’esordio, forse quello che gli
estimatori di questo grande chitarrista ricordano più
volentieri. E’ anche il disco che da a Bensusan la
notorietà grazie alla vittoria del “Grand Prix du
disque” in occasione del festival di Montreal del 1976. La
copertina ci presenta la foto di un Bensusan giovanissimo, opera di
Philippe du Janeyrand. La grafica di questo album memorabile
è curata da Susan Marsh. E’ forse
l’opera dell’artista più vicina al folk.
