Que le mot soit Perle by Les Nubians featuring Henri Salvador

If you’ve read my blog for long enough you’ll probably realize how much I love Paris. Even though my French is not precisely perfect (and in spite of the fact that both of my interns have French background, Jessica being of French heritage and Anabelle being a Montrealer), I still struggle with fluency on the language. Thus, I make a concerted effort to listen to music in the French language. One of the French duets I love the most (and I owe it to The One Whose Name Shall Not Be Written to know about them) is Les Nubians.

Que le mot soit Perle is a song I often have on repeat on my iPod because it’s sophisticated and danceable, and makes my body sway (I’m pretty sure I could mount a contemporary dance choreography with Que le mot soit Perle as musical background). While I own the song with only The Nubiens, when searching for the song on YouTube I came across their piece featuring Henri Salvador, who unfortunately passed away in 2008.

I think Salvador provides an extremely sweet richness to Les Nubians’ wonderful vocal chords. For your listening pleasure.
