Paris-scat: André Minvielle and "Flambée Montalbanaise"

A little French accordion with some vocals makes up our random tune for today, called Flambée Montalbanaise. The song is by André Minvielle, a French singer and percussionist who sings in what he calls vocalchemistry, a mix of scat, blues and rap. He sings in both French and Occitan, and often accompanies himself with hurdy gurdy, percussion, sound effects, and even a bottle. Flambée Montalbanaise is one of the first songs where he made a name for himself when he sang it on the album The Paris Musette (1990, re-released 2010). I first heard Flambée Montalbanaise on the various artists compilation The Rough Guide to Paris (Second Edition), released in 2010.
