“…un conteur dont le talent semble de taille à reprendre et vivifier la merveilleuse tradition laissée par le maître génial que fut M.Sixto. “Mèt Monplaisir Tribun” expose un Charlot Lucien bien disert, un créateur …qui manifeste une remarquable possession de ses moyens…”

Awards & Achievements

Charlot is the recipient of multiple awards and citations (Commonwealth of Massachusetts, City of Boston and various civic and cultural organizations) for his cultural activism.

With this second CD, Lucien reaffirms that he is taking this genre very seriously. As the addition of supporting sound effects can testify, he is also thinking about revamping it… From time to time in his two CDs, we can feel him, unaltered, naked, risking everything, and without the crutches of his illustrious predecessors.
