A self-taught guitarist from childhood, Albert Benichou’s influences vary widely but include classical French chanteurs such as Georges Brassens and Jacques Brel and guitar maestros such as Marcel Dadi, Baden Powell, Mark Knopfler and Neil Young. Benichou frames his lyrical songs with boss nova, jazz, and Middle Eastern/North African notes. Whether on acoustic or electric instruments, nylon or steel strings, he always leaves the special effects aside to privilege a natural sound.
