The richness and originality of the songs of the ports Boulonnais, which reflect more than two centuries of maritime life since the revolutionary period until today, were saved thanks to the investigations of Michel Lefèvre. We had highlighted the directory by preparing together in 1999 a volume of the Anthology of Chasse-Marée, and I find with pleasure in this disc A.M.T.P.B. who had also been a partner in this publication.
But listening to these songs, finely enveloped by warm sounds, I discover with enthusiasm that a new generation of singers and musicians has chosen to make this heritage live. The trio La Bricole, was able to feed on the collections of its elders and the initiatives that allowed the revival of this popular music of the neighborhoods of the port, and has drawn from the vast repertoire left by the men and women of sea time herring dunes and driftsters from Boulogne.
