Folk-jazz singer/songwriter Cali emerged as one of French pops biggest new stars
when the listening public adopted his 2003 debut single, Cest Quand le Bonheur?
(Whens Happiness?), as an anthem for post-adolescent disillusionment. Born Bruno
Calicuri in Perpignan, France, in June 1968, he initially dreamed of a career as
a professional Rugby player before a 1984 U2 concert shifted his priorities to
music. A self-taught guitarist, he soon emerged as a staple of the local live
circuit, and after a series of short-lived band affiliations, he joined the
group Indy in 1994. After two LPs and more than 200 live dates, Calicuri joined
the band Tom Scarlett, issuing a self-financed album to scant attention in 1998.
After dissolving the project, he abbreviated his name to Cali and, in
collaboration with Tom Scarlett guitarist Hugues Baretge, began a lengthy
residency at the Perpignan club Le Mediator. Opening dates in support of
superstars including Bénabar and Brigitte Fontaine earned attention from
audiences and critics alike, and a celebrated July 2002 performance at La
Rochelles famed Francofolies festival proved the turning point of his career,
earning a record deal with the Labels imprint. Calis debut LP, LAmour Parfait,
hit stores in mid-2003, immediately earning comparisons with rival
singer/songwriter Miossec, leader of the so-called chanson réaliste movement.
Cest Quand le Bonheur? struck a profound chord with listeners of Calis
post-revolt generation and earned him a nomination as Best Newcomer of the Year
at the annual Victoires de la Musique awards. In late 2004 Cali released Plein
de Vie, a live DVD documenting his May 26 performance at Paris Le Bataclan, and
in January 2005 headlined the legendary music hall the Olympia. Calis sophomore
effort, the much-anticipated Menteur, finally dropped that autumn. The following
summer, he co-starred in the film musical Magique! In 2008, he released his
third studio album, LEspoir. The singles from the album were Resistance and 1000
Coeurs Debout.
