History
The songs were written and recorded in France and Belgium. For the arrangements, Eumir Deodato (Frank Sinatra, Aretha Franklin, Björk) and Yvan Cassar (Mylène Farmer, Johnny Hallyday) were invited and the album "travels to Brazil and Paris, with an occasional little trip to Broadway and even Spain for Flamenca, flamenco".
One of the songs, "J'ai Connu" (Gypsy jazz), addresses the genocides that have occurred during Aznavour's lifetime.
It was released digitally on August 30, 2011 by Capitol/EMI. After the release, Aznavour started his new Aznavour en Toute Intimité tour in 2011.
