Captain Samouraï Flower is the latest incarnation of the French
singer and songwriter Pascal Obispo (b. 1965; this is his real name,
in spite of being the perfect anagram of Pablo Picasso).
After having released his first record in 1990, Obispo became
increasingly popular in the 1990s and started in 1997 a fruitful
collaboration with several artists, including Florent Pagny, Johnny
Halliday, Patricia Kaas, Natasha Saint-Pier, Zazie... Obispo is known
for his sincere commitment in AIDS prevention and research fundraising.
On 20 April 2009, Pascal Obispo, under the name of Captain Samouraï
Flower, released on the Internet his new record, Welcome To The Magic World Of The Captain Samouraï Flower.
On the same day, he released the single record Le Drapeau (The
flag). The cover of the record shows Captain Samouraï Flower standing
in the desert, holding a big green flag with a flower emblem skewed to
the hoist, made of a green and blue representation of the heart
surrounded by yellow petals. Captain Samouraï Flower reflects the
concern of Obispo for environmental issues, being "a messenger of the
new generation, an idealist very concerned by ecology."
The videoclip of the song Le Drapeau, whose chorus includes tous le même drapeau (all [under] the same flag) shows several copies of the flag, in most instances with 13 petals. As on the cover, the flag appears only as a painting.
The flag is shown in a few scenes of the clip of the second single record Idéliste, released on 6 July 2009.
This clip's making-of filmlet shows the real flag.
Captain Samouraï Flower will start a tour in spring 2010, in which the real flag is expected to appear.
