Bénabar (Bruno Nicolini, born June 16, 1969) is a French songwriter and singer, who could be compared to Vincent Delerm and other singers from his generation. As many of them he was influenced by Georges Brassens, Renaud Séchan, Jacques Higelin and also Tom Waits. His songs describe day-to-day life events with humour and a tender cynicism. His songs draw influence from French Chanson and a heavy influence is placed on the piano or the accordion and on typical French fanfare (brass band) for the most upbeat of them. This genre of music is very typically French and differs from most in that emphasis is placed on appreciation of the lyrics and that it is linked to a specific culture of modern “guinche” (slang for “guinguette”) appreciated a lot by Bobos among others.
He began his career in the cinema, working as an assistant on Le Brasier (1991) and directed three short subjects Nada Lezard (1991), Sursum corda (1994) et José Jeannette (1992). He then turned to music, working for some time with his friend Patchol who gave him his nickname (Bénabar being the “verlan” of Barnabé, the name he was using on stage). With “Les associés” he sang for several years in small places in France, Belgium, Switzerland before becoming more and more popular after the release of Bénabar (2001) that enabled him to be the opening act for Henri Salvador. He was nominated as a Revelation for the “Victoires de la musique 2003” but did not win it.

Ah, c'est sûr ! Ceux qui n'aiment pas écoutent volontairement autre chose ! Sauf que lorsqu'on va au supermarché du coin, on se sent obligé d'entendre ses rengaines d'une ringardise à nulle autre pareille. Le plus drôle est de savoir qu'il se proclame de gauche mais qu'un terrible paradoxe le pousse à nous suggérer davantage une France giscardienne hors d'usage et née périmée. Ce qui décuple l'aspect caduque de ses pénibles travaux.

Artiste génial. Beaucoup d'humour et d'à propos. Ce qui fait sa force, c'est qu'il est unique et inimitable. Non pas que sa voix soit hors norme, mais ses interprétations sont géniales. C'est un peu comme renaud en somme... Cet artiste là constitue un tout. De la création à l'interprétation. Et ceux qui n'aiment pas peuvent écouter autre chose ^^

Visiblement, le style "néo-crottin-de-cheval" n'en finit pas de faire des petits émules à un rythme qui suscite autant l'effroi que la consternation. Or, "A La Campagne", son nouveau "tube", face auquel la perplexité finit de gagner l'auditeur le moins lucide, vient de décrire le comble de cet artiste pour lequel la modernité est sans doute l'ennemi principal et pour qui Claude François, avant-gardiste de la ringardise, reste la référence absolue qui se doit d'empêcher la musique francophone d'évoluer. Triste constat, imputable à Monsieur Bruno Nicolini. Tout comme à son quasi-homonyme Bruno Caliciuri (le déplorable Cali, tout aussi doué dans l'art de la médiocrité féroce), on lui dit MERCi !
