Ghédalia TAZARTES" music comes from everywhere and nowhere. He takes noises, sounds, melodies, chants, whispers, shouts and cries from sources all over the planet and uses them as raw material to construct his own sonic world. A collage and a patchwork at once, but with an impressive coherence and homogeneity. Born in Paris in 1947, Ghédalia TAZARTES started singing when he was 12 years old, soon after his grand-mother died, alone and just for himself, in the Bois de Vincennes (A Parisian forest). After a number of trips and experiences, he started to create his impromuzician"s artistic language and began a professional career in dance, theatre, cinema, while still giving some occasional concerts and publishing a few albums. "Check Point Charlie", issued in 1990, was his latest and much-awaited reissue. Now reviewed and amplified by its author, the CD is published on the Gazul label, as part of the Zut-O-Pistes collection. Its power to retain some bits and pieces of a perpetually escaping reality through the stories, the places and the links that unfold, makes it a masterpiece among the works of Ghédalia TAZARTES, a man who sings to be sung by the world in order to reach a full existence...
