Le roi, l'écureuil et la couleuvre (The King, the Squirrel and the Uzz) is a story about the events at the court of King Louis XIV and about those historical figures who surrounded him. August 12, 1652. The Fronde has achieved the exile of Cardinal Mazarin. Around the young King Louis XIV are those who seek his favor. Nicolas Fouquet is a true magician. His inventive mind and ability to quickly analyze the situation allow him to profit from literally everything that makes Colbert, once a friend of his, increasingly jealous. The courtyard becomes a theater of greed, envy and espionage. Fouquet, meanwhile, helps Mazarin rehabilitate, for which he receives a high position at the court - Superintendent of Finance. Blinded by his own power and money, Fouquet begins to build a beautiful palace, realizing his childhood dream. In it, he organizes a brilliant celebration in honor of Louis XIV. For the joy of everything done, the hero of the picture “King, Squirrel and Uzz” does not feel the threat hanging over him.

Jeanne Poisson, the headstrong, ambitious, witty and erudite, catches the eye and heart of French King Louis XV at a costumed ball. She masters the art of seduction well enough to become accepted even by the Queen, corpulent mother of ten. As a sensibly chosen Royal 'favorite' mistress she is soon ennobled Marquise of Pompadour to facilitate her introduction at court. The immature dauphin (crown prince) proves a bitter and unrelenting enemy, joined by his imposed Saxon bride, and his sister at her deathbed. Although friends at court help Pompadour return, her health gives way. close

Vivo en Buenos Aires es un DVD (obviamos el comentario del CD, que contiene siete temas menos, por razones obvias) de interesantísima factura artística y que muestra cabalmente lo que ofrece Kevin Johansen en cada una de sus actuaciones, manteniendo el mismo espíritu incluso de aquellas series de actuaciones en lugares intimistas como Notorious hace ya casi una década. Una suerte de grandes éxitos en vivo que no admite demasiados reparos, más allá de las preferencias personales de cada uno (me anoto, total es gratis, con La procesión, Me fui pa'l Monte, No me abandones, Ni idea).
Kevin Johansen tiene, en The Nada, a un combo numeroso que no solamente patea hacia el mismo arco sino que, conscientes de sus bondades y limitaciones, se la pasan entre ellos; y encontró en Liniers a un aliado no forzado que ha sabido comprender (y reflejar) con certeza para qué lado queda el arco contrario.
Y todos disfrutan.
