Review by Beth Campbell Duke

Album Review: "Marche Des Rois" by Mathé Altéry & Raymond Amade Released in 1954 under the Pathé label, Marche Des Rois is a charming slice of French pop with deep roots in the chanson tradition. Helmed by Music Director Marcel Cariven, this album feels like stepping into a cozy Parisian café where the air hums with nostalgia and grace. It’s not flashy or overly ambitious—it doesn’t need to be. Instead, it wraps you up in its warm, melodic embrace, offering timeless tracks that linger long after the needle lifts off the record. Two songs stand out for me. First, there’s Minuit Chrétiens. This track hits hard because it blends reverence with simplicity. The vocals feel intimate, almost like Mathé Altéry is whispering directly to you across decades. There's no unnecessary frills here—just pure emotion carried by soft instrumentation. You can picture families gathering around radios back then, feeling connected through these notes. Then there’s Venez Divin Messie, which grabs your attention with its gentle yet confident pacing. The harmonies between Altéry and Amade are so seamless they sound like two old friends chatting over wine. These aren’t just songs; they’re moments frozen in time. The rest of the album keeps the vibe consistent. Tracks like Les Anges de Nos Campagnes and Marche Des Rois bring their own magic too, but those first two really stuck with me. Maybe it’s how effortlessly they balance joy and solemnity, making them perfect for both quiet reflection and lively gatherings. That’s the beauty of chanson—it speaks to something universal while staying deeply personal. Looking back at Marche Des Rois, what strikes me most isn’t just the music itself but how it reflects its era. In post-war France, people were searching for comfort and connection, and albums like this provided exactly that. Listening today, it’s wild to think about how much has changed since 1954—and yet, somehow, this music still feels relevant. Like maybe we haven’t changed as much as we think. Or maybe good music really does transcend time. Either way, it’s worth giving this one a spin. Who knows? You might find yourself humming along to Minuit Chrétiens more often than expected. Oh, and here’s a random thought—wouldn’t it be funny if someone tried remixing these tracks into EDM bangers? Just saying...
