[One blues piece conquers the ears of the world; a romantic resonance across a century!]
When the strings play, the DNA stirs!
In 1968, the piece Love is Blue poured down like a galaxy and swept the world!!!
Without lyrics, it made the whole world understand love.
It topped the Billboard chart for 5 consecutive weeks, with album sales exceeding 30 million copies.
It won the French ACC Record Award and became a sound symbol of the era.
On October 26, 2025, we will pay tribute to a musical soul that has illuminated the world with the most magnificent performance!
You may not remember the name "Paul Mauriat", but he is a French romantic acoustic poet and one of the three giants of light music in the world. The "Paul Mauriat Sound" he created has made billions of ears indulge in elegance and passion.
When the melody plays -
Gorgeous strings × modern rhythm × elegant atmosphere,
Every second is a magical moment that awakens the romance in the heart ✨
This French light music master received rigorous classical music training since childhood, but resolutely turned to jazz and pop at the age of 17. He abandoned the traditional classical path, formed his own band, and integrated the exquisiteness of classical music with the agility of pop music. It is this "dual gene" that makes his works not only retain the magnificent structure of symphonies, but also permeate the vitality of modern life. The Love is Blue adapted by him is no longer just music, but an emotional symbol of an era.

In 1965, the Paul Mauriat Light Music Orchestra was formally established. The repertoire they played was extremely wide-ranging: from pop hits, jazz classics, film scores to folk songs and classical masterpieces, covering almost everything. What's more valuable is that Mauriat had a kind of magic - he could remove the lyrics and touch people's hearts with melodies alone. He was good at weaving delicate emotions with strings and lighting up the auditory scene with rhythms, making music a real "borderless language". Therefore, his works spread from the screen to shopping malls, cafes and family gatherings, becoming the background sound of a generation's quality life.
