Meeting around the “Bestiary of Rock” by Yves Delmas and Charles Gancel at the Divan

Come and discover “Le bestiaire du rock” published by Éditions Le mot et le reste.

Animals have always been invited into the imagination of music authors and composers, both classical and popular, from Schubert’s trout to First Aid Kit’s lanky she-wolf and the moaning snake of the blues (“Black Snake Moan”).

Yves Delmas, a company director, divides his time between Paris, Madrid, airports and listening, especially to the English rock of the sixties and that of the late seventies.

Charles Gancel is a short story writer, musician, and specialist in American music of the sixties. A great fan of rock, he plays very regularly in the group “Formixxa”.

Together, they have already published, with Éditions Le mot et le reste, “Beatlestones: a duel, a winner” and “Protest song: the protest song in the America of the sixties”.
