Dick Annegarn

Framing the enigma that is Dick Annegarn is an interesting challenge. Travelling from the Netherlands to France in the 70s, Dick successfully reinvented himself as a folk artist "à la française". Known for his independent spirit, he nurtured his career outside the boundaries of the mainstream music industry. Yet, he still made a significant impact, contributing in forging the sound of chanson française. His breakthrough album, "Sacré Géranium", stuffed with raw, honest tracks was like a breath of fresh air in an industry that was leaning towards polished pop tunes.

In terms of music videos, one can't forget the hauntingly beautiful work Annegarn did in collaboration with Director Paul Ouazan. Ouazan masterfully translated the melancholic vibes of Annegarn’s tracks into fluid frames. One great example is the video for "Bruxelles", where the spacy shots of the city are wonderfully intertwined with Dick's candid performance. Another amusing fact about Annegarn is his passion for the cultivation of garlic, and his insistence that his musical journey is a direct consequence of his botanic endeavours! It's a peculiar blend, to be sure, but we wouldn't have him any other way -- Dick Annegarn is a true original in the world of music, as unique as the melodies he spins into existence.
