Gérard Chambre, February 2015 It is a great honor

extract from an article by
Gérard Chambre 2013
I was touched by the complicity
between musicians and technology;
the curiosity for each other; the
relationships we built between our
two different worlds; the great
intelligence and dignity of Malagasy
people; and the seriousness of the
project...

- translated by webmaster Linda A
very generous man that Gerard
Chambre! After numerous concerts in
several countries of the world to
help various associations, the
singer will also occur on Malagasy
soil, always with the same goal ...
to help the most disadvantaged...
Linda, webmaster 2011 It is one
thing to sing in a famous concert hall, like the
Olympia in Paris, the Festival Lacoste or chez
Maxim's and quite another in an open Field, in
front of an exotic culture in a faraway
continent, confronted by heat, dust and
technical problems!
An Entertainer
contributing a bit of happiness to
mankind unconditionally given -
showing his respect towards any kind
of audience without making any
difference where he performs, is not
only a unique professional - but in
my eyes, a most generous man with a
noble heart - in one word my friend
Gérard Chambre!
I can only bow
my head in front of Gérard and like
to quote Mark Twain: « Action speaks
louder than words but not nearly as
often »
Paris 2011
Gérard Chambre wrote for the
organization
Les Jardins de Lumière a
most beautiful song : Les
jardins de Lumière
accompanied by an adorable
chorus. The song was
recorded in Paris in the
summer of 2011.
Si
chaque homme dans son cœur
allumait la lumière
Si le sourire des femmes
illuminait la terre
Alors se lèveraient dans les
petits matins
Tout le parfum des fleurs de
million de jardins
Si la lune quelque fois
illumine nos pas,
tous nos rêves d’enfant que
l’on oublie parfois
Partageons le soleil pour
réveiller nos vies
Et semons des étoiles pour
éclairer nos nuits
Tout
juste un peu d’amour et se
prendre la main
Quelques petites lumières
pour ouvrir le chemin
Et sur l’arbre de vie que
nous aurons planté
Allons cueillir les fruits
de notre liberté
Allumons les soleils tout
autour de la terre
Faisons de notre vie un
grand son et lumière
Éteignons par nos chants les
peurs et les guerres
Et donnons-nous la paix pour
des années lumières
REF
Allumez les lumières
et réveillez le monde
Allumez les lumières
et sortez le de l’ombre
Allumez les lumières
Pour chanter nuit et jour…
Toutes nos chansons
d’amour

Phnom Penh 2010
In conjunction with French Week in Cambodia 'Topaz restaurant'
and the company 'Red & White
International' organised a
prestigious charity gala dinner with the participation of
renowned Parisian Chef
Jean-Christoph Lebascle and
famous French artist
Gérard Chambre, to benefit the Antoine de Saint-Exupéry Youth Foundation.
webmaster, Linda 2010 During
his stay in Phnom Penh, Cambodia, while seeing the
misery of the children at
the airport, Gérard Chambre
was deeply touched by the
hardship of these kids, that he
on the spur of the moment
wrote six songs, after the
melodies of famous Chansons.
He presented them
during his
concert
Brel pour toujours
at the Studio 182, Chaktomuk.
The guests were able to buy the CD on that same
evening to benefit the
organization
