Aznavour toujours


Aznavour toujours is the 50th French studio album by the French-Armenian singer Charles Aznavour, released in 2011. Toujours became his seventh album in the 21st century. According to Allmusic, "this collection of 12 self-penned tracks shows that the 87-year-old is still capable of cutting it alone". Album cover photograph is taken by Karl Lagerfeld.

History

The songs were written and recorded in France and Belgium. For the arrangements, Eumir Deodato and Yvan Cassar were invited and the album "travels to Brazil and Paris, with an occasional little trip to Broadway and even Spain for Flamenca, flamenco".
One of the songs, "J'ai Connu", addresses the genocides that have occurred during Aznavour's lifetime.
It was released digitally on August 30, 2011, by Capitol/EMI. After the release, Aznavour started his new Aznavour en Toute Intimité tour in 2011.
