About the project
La Chanson Noire is a musical manifesto created in 2007 by Charles Sangnoir, upon the edition of “Canções de Faca e Alguidar”, a limited edition cassette numbered with the author’s own blood and sold out in a matter of days. “Gay Music for straight people” and “Bordel de Lucifer” followed, and finally “Musica para os mortos”, (La Chanson Noire’s debut full length) arrived, bewildering the portuguese press with a rather controversial cover art featuring religious iconography depicted in a highly unorthodox fashion. Over 100 distinctive shows (including opening acts for Wayne Hussey, Clan of Xymox, Joe Black or Moonspell, among others) and constant presence in specialized media confirm La Chanson Noire as a unique musical act and pretty much advocate Sangnoir as the Chanteur Maudit of his generation.
On the new album
“Cabaret Portugal” is much more than a record – it is, in itself, a modern Cadavre Exquis, a unique work of art, involving thirteen authors, fifteen photographers, two designers and one movie director, plus guest musicians. Among these, you can find names such as Fernando Ribeiro, Nuno Markl, David Soares or Adolfo Luxuria Canibal, to name only a few. The book which contains the 13 track cd, also includes 26 pictures and 13 original texts, all of them sharing the same titles, being that none of the collaborators had any contact with each other or their homonymous work. The collage of this blind collaboration results in a haunting, dense and schizophrenic work, only to fit like a glove to the beautiful gloominess of Sangnoir’s poetry and musical arrangements.
