Paresser par ici Almost two years have passed since fans of Paris Combo were stunned to learn of the sudden death of the group™s singer/songwriter Belle du Berry, who died on August 11, 2020, aged just 54, following a brief battle with cancer. Her passing was a tragic loss for all those touched by her charismatic presence as a performer and songwriter during a career spanning 30 years and over a hundred songs. The beating heart of the group, Belle had been the unforgettable voice of the band™s elegantly intoxicating and joyful take on the world, her quirky, wise and often humorous songs providing a welcome antidote to the stresses and strains of everyday life. For the legions of mourning fans worldwide, who until now were reluctantly resigned to forever consoling themselves with the band™s nevertheless impressive back catalogue of eight albums, an unexpected and exciting parting gift has arrived in the form of a new Paris Combo release, Quesaco? Recorded just before Belle died, the new album is now being released worldwide on May 6 on the U.S. label Six Degrees Records. Twenty-five years have passed since the band was founded, but it™s clear from listening to the 11 songs on the new album that Paris Combo have lost none of their magic. Quintessentially Parisian, yet timeless and international with a deceptively light touch, their music weaves together elements of Django Reinhardt-inspired gypsy jazz and Latin music, as well as cinematic and various exotic influences, and is a testament to the group™s long journey together.
