The life of a liberated artist, in love with words, music, and constant reinvention.

Born Lucien Ginsburg, Serge Gainsbourg had a long, unconventional, and multifaceted career. A prolific songwriter, he crafted his lyrics with poetic flair and originality. His music explored many styles: jazz, rock, pop, rap… This album traces the life of this son of Russian immigrants, from a WWII childhood marked by the yellow star to his studies at the Beaux-Arts, his early days as a bar pianist, and the moment of revelation when he discovered Boris Vian on stage—before becoming a world-renowned artist himself.
