Bertrand Burgalat Essentials

French musician, composer and producer Bertrand Burgalat exists in the world between '60s psychedelia, contemporary classical music and pop. His crooning vocals—smooth and poignant—naturally sit with the French chanson tradition, but his style also extends to disco beats, funk-soul and straight-up rock 'n' roll. In high demand for his sound as a producer, he's worked for the likes of Jamiroquai, Soul II Soul and Depeche Mode, while collaborations with Soft Machine founder Robert Wyatt and his Tricatel label-mates A.S. Dragon affirm this man's many talents.
