Paul Daraiche, national treasure

Forty-five years of dust gravelle in the voice. Papa bear arms. A great smile as a ten-wheel. A candid, penetrating look. In the corridor of the rehearsal room, Paul Daraiche look at me, smiles at me, hugged me, thanked me thinking to him for I have memory that rotates, our program of family films. It is for me to thank, of course, loaned us its coils, in addition to testify, poignant but without pathos, of the life of misery of fishers in the Gaspé Peninsula. Pain and pride to a son about his father. It crossed the screen as it passes through me the body now that it is there before me. No filter, no distance. Direct inside as the songs of his 45 years of country singer.

Not nonworking trades. “The Daraiche, all-inclusive, solo, duo, trio, in family, it is 90 albums in 45 years.” Not jokes, my first 45-rpm, it was in 1967 with the White Wolf, had been launched at the Centre Paul-Sauvé, I remember, with the Bel Canto! Albums, I had to make 350 for others, I count over the tunes written for all of the country. “Obviously, any Belle Province knows it except the media in large cities. And the Internet: no bio Wikipedia, look long bits of info. Still happy that a Patrick Norman, a Roch Voisine, a Renée Martel, an Isabelle Boulay have built a bridge higher than the wall of indifference: at least is (and cherishes it) its more beautiful of all: my mother (pierces the clouds). “Isabelle has sold 800,000 in Europe”, says, candid, proud and grateful. “I bought my house with the first check…”. »

If there really no need to be better known than he is (“when I was in Cuba with my wife, I had not the time to sit on the beach…”) (»), the idea that at age 65, his songs are path outside of the roads marked the country him “makes a beautiful Velvet”. Hence the satisfaction of seeing appear my love, my friends, album of duets of high level, draft Mario Pelchat (charm turned producer, singer who tour when the country said hello…). “A full world that will hear the songs for the first time, because I sing with artists that affect other public.” This is a great gift. »

Realization of high quality by Éloi Painchaud, design of the best taste for the cover and booklet, it was homework on anything. And the list of participants impressed: will of Richard Desjardins to Hugues Aufray, Yves Lambert to Marc Hervieux of Daniel Lavoie to Dick Rivers, in addition to Boulay, neighbour, Norman, Laurence Jalbert, Luce Dufault, etc. “it may not, huh?”. With Mario, c’ has no niaise. I gave a list of twenty tunes and twenty artists, it is left there. Imagine, it has been at Toulouse, in Dick Rivers, to when the wheat will be lifted! Imagine, I sang Stewball with Hugues Aufray, face to face, I was a child when I learned it! With Marc Hervieux [for the album, Franco-Italian version bonus play of my mother (pierces the clouds)], I capotais so much that I had the misery to sing. Forty violins growing me in the ass… »

For the Duet with Richard Desjardins, he revived a classic of its repertoire, the lumberjack, a song by Hal Willis, born Gauthier in Rouyn, singer country which was Colonel Parker… before Elvis! “A history of logger, it was perfect.” But Richard has found that the words came quickly: it is a true hoe-down! “And so on: that of happiness. “It happens at the same time, it seems: there was a documentary on Daraiche family which is being be turned, and a book that will come out, it is Carmel Dumas who is behind all this.”. It really made the tour of our history. We were in had forgotten to the ends. “For example? “In time of tapes 8-tracks, after the shows, it was selling kicked four.” Four such copies. Me, I not understand. The case is that it’s not, copy is a 8-tracks, it was you wonderful pas? The world bought one for the boat, one for the pickup, one for the trailer, a home… »
