Georges Moustaki - El Extranjero Il Est Trop Tard

Review by Christopher Poterala

Georges Moustaki's album El Extranjero Il Est Trop Tard is a beautiful and soulful collection of songs that showcases the artist's talents as a songwriter and performer. The album features a mix of French and Spanish tunes, with Moustaki's signature poetic lyrics and emotive vocals.

The album opens with the title track "El Extranjero Il Est Trop Tard," a haunting ballad that sets the tone for the rest of the album. Moustaki's voice is rich and full of emotion, and the instrumentation is sparse yet powerful. The album continues with a mix of upbeat and melancholic tracks, each one telling a story and evoking a range of emotions.

One of the standout tracks on the album is "Le Facteur," a poignant tribute to the postal workers who deliver mail to remote and dangerous areas. Moustaki's lyrics are both beautiful and heartbreaking, and his delivery is full of passion and sincerity.

Summary by Christopher Poterala

El Extranjero Il Est Trop Tard is a must-listen for fans of Georges Moustaki and anyone who appreciates thoughtful and heartfelt music. The album is a testament to Moustaki's talent and legacy as one of the greatest singer-songwriters of his generation.
