Le Montreur d'histoires #[nn]

A masked figure — adorned in ceremonial furs and surrounded by swirling, colorful orbs — tumbles through a deep blue night sky above a rapt, upturned crowd in this striking 2011 album from Le Lombard. The contrast between the vivid, almost dreamlike performer and the warmly rendered faces below gives the cover an immediate sense of wonder and communal storytelling. Raphaël Beuchot and Zidrou offer something that feels genuinely rare: a work where the very act of sharing stories becomes the spectacle itself.
