Biography
Bambou is the pseudonym of the French-born Chinese-German model and singer Caroline von Paulus. Von Paulus met Serge Gainsbourg in 1980 at L'Elysée Matignon in Paris and was his partner for 10 years until his death in 1991, although they were never married. She was involved with several of Gainsbourg's projects, including modeling for his photobook "Bambou et les poupées". She gave birth to their son, Lucien 'Lulu' Gainsbourg in 1986. Her career as a singer was short-lived, consisting mainly of an album of interpretations of Gainsbourg's songs, 'Made in China', which was released in 1989. She returned to the mic in 2003 at the request of Marc Lavoine for his hit 'Dis moi que l'amour'.
