Christophe died today, 16 april 2020. He was a terrific musician and wrote some amazing stuff. Worked with Jean-Michel in the 70s, was part of the Electronica 2 project and he worked with Dominique Perrier even longer, he even had a band with Perrier and Roger Rizzitelli.

Do yourself a favour and jump in the amazing musical back catalogue of Christophe Bevilacqua.

He died of the Covid-19 virus.

Amazing artist. His album Bevilacqua (1996) was ahead of its time. While his most famous songs (apart from Aline and Les marionnettes) are from the period when he worked with JMJ (Les paradis perdus - 1973, and Les mots bleus - 1974) his most recent albums are fantastic and showcase very different styles: Les vestiges du Chaos (2016, with the title song co-written with JMJ), Aimer ce que nous sommes (2008) and Comm' si la terre penchait (2001). As Dr_Jones rightly mentioned, do yourself a favor and listen to his albums. And, no, you don't need to speak French to "get it".
