David MARTIAL
Born on June 26, 1935 in Saint-Pierre, Martinique, David Martial is best known
for his song "Célimène ". Originally a biguine singer, David Martial specialized
in an exotic repertoire bordering on the parodic. His light-hearted songs
extolled the real or supposed assets of the Antilles. Released in 1976,
"Célimène " has become a veritable anthem for the end of banquets, with its
unstoppable refrain "Cé, cé, cé...Célimène". The song appeared on the 1976 album
Joséphine. Always dynamic, David Martial took part in the Âge Tendre et Tête de
Bois tour in 2012.
