English Translation:

Throughout the world, Dylan’s words carry across the globe like the changing times and impact many individuals like strong winds that blow. Because of this (transcending quality), poets, troubadours from many cultures took his words, interpreted them, colored them, transformed them, and even simply sung them. All of the different facets are combined together here, in quality, by the concepteur Alan Weber, who provoked the interpretations of Dylan’s work, stylized it, added instruments, and worked in various cultural influences: All Along the Watchtower comes from the Cuban Casa de la Trova, Mister Tamborine Man starts with the jubilant voices of the Baul Indians, Tangled up in Blue becomes hypnotic, and I Want You is heavily Chinese. The open work contains the elements of the sacred, and of the epic. It dives into the village festivals with Taraf de Haidouks and Kocani Orkestar, and into delicate infinity with an orchestra from Burma. All in all, 13 artists created a fascinating homage to Mister Zimmerman.

French (original):

À travers le monde, les mots de Dylan portent comme les temps qui changent et le vent qui souffle fort. À cause de cela, les poètes troubadours de tant de cultures l’ont repris, confronté, recoloré, transformé, chamboulé ou juste simplement chanté. Toutes ces facettes sont ici mises en valeur par le concepteur Alan Weber qui a provoqué des interprétations insoupçonnées de l’oeuvre qui est reprise avec les instruments, les styles et surtout, les sensibilités d’ailleurs. All Along the Watchtower sort de la casa de la trova cubaine, Mister Tamboutine Man est lancé avec les voix exaltées des Bauls indiens, Tangled up in Blue devient hypnotique et IWant You, très chinois. On ajoure du sacré, de l’épique. On plonge dans la fête au village rom avec Taraf de Haïdouks et Kocani Orkestar, ou dans l’infinie délicatesse avec un orchestre de Burma. En tout, 13 artistes signent un fascinant hommage à Mister Zimmerman.
