The Best Of Souliko

– MUSIC VIDEOS –

 

About Souliko… 8:30 pm, on a winter’s night, it’s cold here in Paris, and after a day packed full of meetings, studio recording, phone calls, office time, car time, traffic jams… I arrive at the Théâtre Dejazet to attend Souliko’s performance. As soon as she appears on stage, all dressed in white, I understand she is one of those artists gifted with a strong presence. Suddenly the stage morphs into a microcosm of its own, and Souliko plays the synthesizer, sings… her hands, her body, her eyes, every part of her is a show on its own, there is no triteness, only strength in her, and I wonder, how a woman with such a frail voice can sing so strongly on stage. It’s the soul… it’s mesmerizing, and when the show ends, the audience asks for more. The stage needs characters like Souliko, should we be so lucky as an audience to receive her raw and rich emotions.

Georges Lartigau (deceased) was a songwriter, artistic director of Barclay editions, music director to Régine, Serge Reggiani and Rika Zaraï, music arranger to Lény Escudero, Annie Cordy, Raymond Lefèvre, Aimé Barelli and Barbara.

  The Poplar

Listen to me, I’m not from here
I have tucked in my white wings
I have made up my birds’eyes
I know air and become water
Please look at me I am a tree
Like leaves my hair flow in the wind
I am a proud and wild poplar
Singing the peace on the stars lyre
But among all, there is someone
Which sparkles as much as copper
A Pleaide’s sphere in the moon night
Where devil is dead forever
I love the voice of my planet
As a sacred sigh in the distance
Which is murmuring in my soul
The soft melody of Good

REVIEWS

I read Souliko’s « Nouvelles du Revenir »,  and was quite touched by her literary voice, which could be a feminine version of Tim
Willocks’s « The Religion ».

Yves Auclerc -Printer

I just finished reading Souliko’s book, and I must say I really enjoyed this journey through worlds and centuries, following along the steps of this peculiar human soul, torn between vulnerability, sensibility, and willpower. Thank you for this journey, which definitely requires a follow- up!

Nadia Levallois – Yogi

I started reading « Nouvelles du Revenir » as soon as I got it in the mail. I could not put it down, and quite enjoyed its precise, concise and descriptive writing. All its short stories are connected by an invisible and mystic thread, all its female characters, whether it be grown women or girls, are driven by the same contagious energy. There is rage in those lines sometimes, and a lot of willpower, coexisting with doubt and fear. I particularly enjoyed the take on Jesus’s life, which made me think of another book named Judas, whose author I can’t re- member. I will send this book to several of my friends and let you know what they think. Souliko has a real potential and it would be a shame not to share it. Thank you for the read.

Dominique Duthuit –   Journalist 

This book was gifted to me by a family member. It swept me away to a timeless place made of strength and wonder. Thank you for conveying emotions that would otherwise be forgotten in such a materialistic world. The gentleness, the poetic and beautiful words, all stem from you. It was a beautiful read.

Virginie Josselin – Organic Farmer

This is a surprising book full of all the poetry Souliko has to offer… a journey through history and amazing stories. Thank you Souliko for this moment.

Charline Marquet – Interior decorator and artist


I just finished reading your book and I am still shaken by it! It’s beautiful! The meaning of the soul’s reincarnation is made very clear to the reader, without being pushed on the novice. A beautiful literary voice, a rich choice of words, historical, ge- ographic facts, in depth ideas on humanity and spirituality. It’s a delight. I am glad to see my intuition about Jesus and Marie Magda- lena’s ties with the Merovingiens, a connection I searched for a few years ago but to no avail ! And you’re handing it to me on a plate! Also, the way in which you bring up notions of parthenogen- esis is subtle, and thus does not come as a shock to the lay audience, although the forgotten, secret knowledge and true nature of this revolutionary notion remains present. I am very glad to witness once again the great range of your gifts at play.

Liliane Dauteuil – Sophro Analyst

I enjoyed reading « Nouvelles du Revenir », and traveling through time alongside this soul, revisiting high points of our collective history.

Hervé Flaux –  Retired

This story of a soul throughout time and incarnations is beautiful and fascinating

Richard Lempereur – Calligrapher

The journeys this soul has embarked upon seem plentiful. From the most crude and unbearable violence to moments of quiet and tenderness… I wish I could read a sequel !

Liliane Loeillet – Retired

At the book signing event of November 5, 2017:

I strongly recommend reading Souliko’s work, a story told from tale to tale, where echoes are found throughout each short story. It presents unusual and interesting ideas too. Whether in its development or points of view. I was quite impressed! I think I want to reread it now, as I feel one reading was not enough to grasp its depth. Well, I for one liked this book.

Madame Colette Trublet Founder of Becherel’s Cité du Livre.

 

 

T he Cosmos is her cradle, the stars are the Angel’s – her friends- swarming delight. She holds the ocean in her palms and the birds on the string of her voice. Such is Souliko, for whom life, both orange and sea urchin, is a shore where the underworld knocks. But what lingers on in the melting pot of her melodies, in the accents of her ethereal song, in the murmuring beds of so many luminous rivers, is the elusive, the intangible tenderness in everybody’s heart. Obstinate singer of the margins and the mundane, forager of humanity in her
long poetic journey, polishing and polishing again an archaeology of Love, marrying smiles and tears, Souliko never fails to deliver the true word of which compassion is a flagship. These music sheets and songs are the result of a great labor. They are the leaflets of a life where precious memory is ever present,
woven with strands of presence, silence, like a bouquet of offerings, of emotions and joys in music form.
