After a his album “Pouvoirs,” Bernard Lavilliers transforms his style and image, delving into bodybuilding, traveling, and cross-cultural encounters. “O Gringo” becomes his experiential journal, reflecting journeys through Brazil, New York, and the Caribbean with a Latin musical shift. While criticized for being theatrical, the album impresses. Highlights include the Latin-infused “La Salsa,” rhythmic “Traffic,” and poignant “Sertao” reflecting Brazil’s poverty. LAVILLIERS’ role as observer and reporter emerges, aided by Brazilian musicians. “Attention fragile” seems out of place, but “Pierrot la Lame” embodies New York’s warmth.
