Tomorrow, Tuesday, the opening of the new exhibition at the Motus Gallery will take place, featuring vinyl record sleeves both as the main attraction and on display.
With a slightly roguish mustache, a Spanish jacket, and kind eyes, Albert de Paname is a truly iconic figure of the azurean nightlife. His career began in 1965 when he was a “disc-jockey” at Tabou and Balajo. In 1970, he met Jacky Ananou, also a disc jockey, who was performing on the Left Bank at Whisky à gogo and at the Saint-Hilaire club.
A steadfast friendship quickly developed between the two men. Their influences include jazz, soul, pop, and white pop. Today, Albert performs at Sketch in London. His style is described as cocktail music.
A great collector of vinyl records, he now invites various artists to express themselves through a cover from his collection. The exhibition brings together big names in Street Art like Bims Kaisoku, Eyone TPK, Obey, and the locals Taride, Larsen, Martinez, etc., and Jacky Ananou who has since become a painter!
The story of a forty-year friendship between two music-loving men.
