"Bastille Day Tribute to Edith Piaf": Yael & Gabriel Perform

Ransack the Louvre, scour every "patisserie", interrogate every mime -- you will not find anything more French than the music of Edith Piaf, whose quavering voice instantly summons images of a bygone, bohemian world of heartache and longing. So what better way to celebrate Bastille Day than to honor France's greatest star? Now Yael & Gabriel perform selections from Piaf's incomparable repertoire, which includes "La Vie En Rose", "Non, Je Ne Regrette" and "Hymne a L'amour," at the world famous Cafe Wha? Yael Dray-Barel is a French/Israeli singer/songwriter influenced by rock and gypsy jazz, and her songs often incorporate the five languages she can speak. Gabriel Hermida is an Argentinian guitarist, infusing his compositions with the essence of classical tango, flamenco and contemporary jazz. Together, their styles create a uniquely exciting musical mix.
