March 2 is the 30th anniversary of the death of legendary French singer and poet dandy Serge Gainsbourg. To mark the occasion, Victor Kiswell pays homage to one of the key figures of French music in the second part of the 20th century. "I'll explore many facets of the man, from 60s jazz for soundtracks to his reggae vibes, going through semi classics and obscure tunes, songs he sang or songs he wrote for others," Kiswell says. "Listen to this like a journey, my own interpretation of his work, a score to his life."
