Overview

"Une oeuvre intemporelle pour la jeunesse d'un grand po�te qu�becois ! La chanson titre annonce une rencontre musicale exceptionnelle chez le vieux Jo, un cajun de la Louisiane qui habite � Kyoto avec sa conjointe japonaise. Les deux sont musiciens, il joue du banjo et elle du koto. Avec leurs amis de partout sur la plan�te, ils donneront un concert tr�s zen, dans le plus parfait silence, � part quelques notes de shamisen ! Se succ�de ensuite une pl�iade de petits chefs-d'oeuvre musicaux interpr�t�s par des artistes vari�s qui leur conf�rent gr�ce et fra�cheur. Ce livre comprend un code QR qui m�ne vers les principales plateformes de musique en continu. Welcome to the curious tale of a banjo-playing Cajun musician's life in Kyoto, Japan. Old Man Joe, as he is affectionately called, and his Japanese wife often spend Sunday afternoons drinking tea and collaborating with musicians from distant lands. Each song in French offers an introduction of sorts to quirky characters like Joe's mother and Little Miss Ad�le, who calls herself ""All�."" Gentle watercolor illustrations and a mishmash of instrumentation give this musical picture book a fanciful appeal. The accompanying recordings can be accessed with a QR code printed in the book."
