Details:
âLes Allumeurs de Rêvesâ, le nouvel album de Samuel Sixto, est dedié à tous les enfants atteint du cancer, ainsi quâà leur famille. Samuel Sixto ayant perdu un être cher face à la terrible maladie, âLes Allumeurs de Rêvesâ est né d'un besoin d'extérioriser une douleur, que malheureusement de nombreux parents et amis connaissent.

A travers âLes Allumeurs de Rêvesâ, Samuel souhaite offrir un refuge, un endroit privilégié oú lâimagination et lâespoir prennent le dessus sur une réalité parfois trop pénible. On y retrouve de nombreuses chansons populaires réarrangées par Samuel Sixto, quelques reprises ainsi que plusieurs chansons originales. Ainsi, Le petit Cheval de Georges Brassens (décédé des suites dâun cancer) se mêle aux airs traditionnels de Sur le Pont du Nord, Malbrough sâen va en guerre et Alouette, des chansons dâautrefois qui abordent des sujets graves tells que la guerre et la mort.

Samuel Sixto a invite plusieurs artistes à se joindre au projet. On y retrouvera donc des duos avec Kim Kuzma (co-auteur de âPuisque câest lâAmourâ pour Lara Fabian), Geneviève Chassé (gagnante du Pacique en Chanson 2006 et du ChantâOuest 2006), Amélie Lefebvre (prix Galaxie, chanson primée de la Socan), Stéphanie Palazzo, Laurence Michaud, Josée Allard, Franz Lefort et Cynthia Hall. Plusieurs enfants prêtent également leur voix aux diverses chansons, dont Michèle Garceau et le jeune aventurier Brandon Schupp.

Le courage et la détermination de ce dernier a dâailleurs inspiré âLa chanson de Brandonâ, qui raconte son histoire. Brandon Schupp est un jeune adolescent qui, chaque année, escalade une nouvelle montagne dans le but de réunir des fonds pour venir en aide à son jeune voisin, atteint dâun cancer.

Bien que le CD soit principalement en français, on y retrouve plusieurs chansons bilingues (français-anglais), ainsi que deux morceaux instrumentaux. Samuel Sixto n'oublie pas sa formation classique et inclus dans sa musique des clins d'oeil à Beethoven, Debussy, Schubert...

âLes Allumeurs de Rêvesâ s'adresse principalement à un public adulte, offrant une palette de couleurs musicales variée et parfois surprennante. Il reste cependant accessible aux enfants, et propose un univers tendre et apaisant.

Samuel Sixto touche l'auditeur par sa finesse, sa fraîcheur et son romantisme, par les nuances de son interprétation et l'émotion qu'elle diffuse. Il ajoute une profonde sensibilité à une vaste palette de talents musicaux. De par ses chansons imprégnées de tradition et de réflexion, Samuel enchante, fascine et inspire.

Nomine aux Western Canadian Music Awards 2007 dans la categorie Album francophone de l'annee, Les Allumeurs De Reves est le second album de Samuel Sixto.

On the first layer of his latest recording Samuel Sixto invites you to relive your childhood memories through music. Get ready to wake up Frère Jacques, pluck off the feathers of the Alouette and plant your cabbage with your nose. Join Samuel in rediscovering popular French melodies which have been passed down throughout history.

Then discover the inspiration for Les Allumeurs de Rêves (The Dream Lighters), a 20 track collection of popular French themes woven around original compositions and unique vocal collaborations. Samuelâs second full-length CD is dedicated to the multitude of children in the world who along with their families face cancer in their lives every day. This CD was inspired by their courage and determination. With these songs, Samuel hopes to provide a little shelter, a place where we can go to dream and forget for a while, the difficult times. A place where we can all light up our dreams, that place where it is easier to believe that anything is possible. Such as on track 17 where Samuel Sixto and Award Winning singer Kim Kuzma take us for A Walk on the Clouds. Kim Kuzma lends her beautiful voice and uplifting energy to this inspirational song, reminding us that we donât need wings to fly.

Other musical guests who joined Samuel on this adventure include Geneviève Chassé, Amélie Lefebvre, Josée Allard, long time friends from Switzerland Stéphanie Palazzo and Laurence Michaud, plus Cynthia Hall, Franz Lefort, and Samuel introduces Michèle Garceau and teen adventurer Brandon Schupp, along with several children who also lend their voices to a few of the tracks.

Next to the popular songs (Sur le Pont du Nord, Meunier tu dors, Le Chat de la Mère Michel, Il était une Bergère and more), the CD contains a cover of Le petit Cheval, a song by Georges Brassens, a famous French songwriter who died from the affects of cancer, and original songs by Sixto including La Chanson de Brandon, inspired by the courage and the determination of a young man (Schupp), who climbs a different mountain somewhere in the world every year to help raise money for children with cancer. Brandon Schupp was invited by Samuel Sixto to sing on the song that tells his story.

Les Allumeurs de Rêves is performed mostly in French but contains a few bilingual songs and a couple of instrumental tracks. This recording is intended mainly for grown-ups but offers something for children of all ages. As well Samuel doesnât forget his classical training, and includes references to Beethoven, Debussy and Schubert in his music.

Through the gift of music, Samuel Sixto's new recording opens us up to the intensity surrounding such a tragic disease as cancer. Many of the songs talk about death and mature subjects but with the innocence of a child and leave us with the feeling that everything will be alright.

Les Allumeurs de Rêves (The Dream Lighters) is a 2007 Western Canadian Music Awards Nominee for Outstanding Francophone Recording of the Year.
