Pierre Antoine Muraccioli, aka Antoine, born in Tamatave in Madagascar on June 4th 1944, French singer from Corsica, joined Saar Records at the end of 1966. Antoine was a particular kind, curious and restless, tireless wanderer, accustomed from childhood to travel the world dragged by his father who was forced to move with his family from France to Madagascar, from Canada to Cameroon, from one place to another and so on.
Once grown up, to scrape together a little money and keep as engineering studies Antoine began singing folk songs in the streets and clubs in Paris with his guitar. He soon realized that he preferred music to thermodynamics.
In 1966 he was hired by Vogue Records, since they liked his music his modern, bizarre and countercurrent lyrics. The album “Elucubrations d’Antoine” was a huge success. He took a degree in engineering, as his father wished, then began to do what he liked best, the artist.
He became a headliner at the Olympia Music Hall in Paris, and Gurtler, who never missed any opportunity, asked for him at Vogue Records. The Italian adventure for Antoine began in 1966 with the publication of four singles.
Today SAAR reissues his self-titled LP on CD, with various bonus tracks.
