Voyage
, to
Pierre Vassiliu
, was not only the title of an album of his, but also a philosophy of life. Traveling the world nourished his work, and his career allowed him to set foot on every continent. But his most beautiful travels took place in recording studios. A traveler out of obligation in his youth (Algeria and its war), he became a traveler by taste and acquired an interest in people. Rio de Janeiro, 1968-1974:
Eddie Barclay
invited the trio
Camara
and its singer
Tita Lobo
to cut a record in Paris. They became the trend of the moment in St Germain des Prés;
Pierre Barouh
offered them to release an instrumental LP on his label Saravah, that would be recorded at Davout studio by
Yves Chamberland
, who in turn offered the trio to create the first French-language bossa nova album. A team of singers and writers and it included Pierre Vassiliu. 1975-1978: His first effort after the staggering success of
Qui c'est celui-là?
(1973),
Voyage
, came out in 1975, punctuated by the jolts of a train zigzagging between mainstream pop, Latin rhythms, and
Herbie Hancock
's
Headhunters
-inspired jazz-funk. 1979-1980: Another label was awaiting him: RCA. This rebirth marked the beginning of Vassiliu's African period. Pierre seemed depressed in 1979. His trips to Guadeloupe with Laura softened him and inspired many songs. 1981-1982: Pierre's former press agent
Brigitte Berthelot
remembers him being sickened by the trade. Despite money problems, he would create moments of celebration around him, and fantastic tours. 1983-2003: Fired by RCA, Pierre multiplied trips to Africa, and you could hear it in his new record
Roulé Boulé
(1983). After a single album for CBS, he was dismissed again. Then a family tragedy followed. This was the beginning of a period of very long breaks in Senegal. Of a longing for tenderness in the sun. Love was born again,
Lena
was born as well; the Vassilius took over a music bar in Dakar and Pierre began writing down what would become
L'amour qui passe
(1987). It included Vassiliu's only Afro-beat song: "Ça va ça va", with
Fela
's sidekick
Tony Allen
on drums. By the beginning of the 2000s, Pierre's recording career seemed to be at a standstill. A handful of fans from his town of Mèze allowed a final album to be funded:
Pierre Précieuses
(2003). Liner notes in French and English by
Guido
(from
Acid Arab
). CD version includes 24-page booklet.
