Andy Chango - Boris Vian
Download
This is an album I know very little about, except that Andy Chango is from Buenos Aires and it seems he likes Boris Vian’s music. Chango covers all the Vian hits on this very respectful album to his aesthetic or style. And that is why I have trouble with it. The music is well-arranged, well sung, and very properly respectful, and this is the problem. I think Vian needs a John Zorn or an artist of that range to really transfer the Vian aesthetic to another plane on this planet. The only singer (besides Vian) that I think does a proper job on his songs is Serge Reggiani, who odd enough reminds me of Bryan Ferry. Still, the Vian world is a small one, and for the collection one must have this album, no?
