En scène avec Jacques Brel (In the Spotlight with Jacques Brel)
from Duolingo French Podcast · host Duolingo
Arnaud Askoy has already had three different careers when, at age 43, he discovers his true calling: singing. But not his own music. Arnaud plans to launch a career impersonating Jacques Brel, one of the world’s most famous francophone musicians, and might just be crazy enough to pull it off. Check out recordings of Arnaud’s live performances here (arnaudaskoy.org/video). We also made a Spotify playlist (spoti.fi/36MhU19) where you can kick back and listen to some of Jacques Brel’s greatest hits. A transcript of this episode is available at https://bit.ly/3u1Mku0.
