Item Description

The newest CD from Pink Martini is a rollicking around-the-world adventure, Je dis oui! features a cavalcade of songs – many of them original – in French, Farsi, Armenian, Portuguese, Arabic, Turkish, Xhosa and English, and affirms the band’s 22-year history of global inclusivity and collaborative spirit. Je dis oui! – which means “I say yes” in French – is the optimistic mantra of the chorus of "Joli garçon” ("Pretty boy"), one of three songs co-written by the band for the soon-to-be-released film Souvenir, starring the legendary French actress Isabelle Huppert. 

Sympathique, Pink Martini’s wildly popular debut album, was released in 1997. It has gone on to sell 975,000 copies worldwide and has taken the band around the world on tours to the Cannes Film Festival as well as Europe, Lebanon, Turkey, Japan and Taiwan, among other far-flung destinations.

The title track was nominated for “Song of the Year” in France’s Victoires de la Musique Awards. The album is Platinum in France, and Gold in Canada, Switzerland, Greece and Turkey.
