Grand Corps Malade

Grand corps malade不是說唱歌手，不是流行歌手，更不是搖滾歌手。他是詩人，一位城市現(xiàn)代詩人。 以上翻譯自：Grand corps malade n'est pas un chanteur de Rap, de Variété, de Pop ou encore de Rock mais un slameur : un poète, un poète urbain des temps modernes. 翻譯得不是很好。Grand Corps Malade的風(fēng)格不是很明確，按照歌唱方式可以納入說唱之類，但是其實他的歌更像是朗誦，以清晰的口齒不算太快的語速說出歌詞，背景音樂多為緩慢的鋼琴及簡單的節(jié)奏，個人認(rèn)為還算是很特別的，第一次領(lǐng)會了男性說法語的魅力。他對自己和這種文化定意為SLAM，這個詞在法語的維基百科中的解釋是一種適合于大眾風(fēng)格的現(xiàn)代詩。本張專輯是他到目前為止唯一的一張專輯，專輯中主打曲目MIDI 20以及j'ai oublié，rencontres等在法國年輕人口中傳唱。大家可以嘗試一下這樣比較新的曲風(fēng)。
 
Grand Corps Malade was the alias of French rapper and urban poet Fabien Marsaud, a product of Paris' tough northern suburb Seine-Saint-Denis born July 31, 1977. A diving accident suffered on his 20th birthday left Marsaud permanently disabled, inspiring the Grand Corps Malade moniker -- roughly translated, the name means &Large Sick Body& -- and forcing upon him the omnipresent crutch that would become a signature element of his stage act. Upon discovering &slam poetry& in 2003, Marsaud began writing autobiographical verse and entering readings at the Parisian bar Collectif 129H. A friend later suggested he set his poems to music, and in early 2006 he issued the first Grand Corps Malade LP, MIDI 20, a gritty collection decrying the racism, poverty, and isolation endemic throughout suburban Paris. The record proved an unexpected blockbuster, selling in excess of 300,000 copies in less than six months and vaulting Marsaud to national notoriety.
