Instrumentalist
A instrumentalist is a Musicien which interprets or improvises (it is then called improviser) of the Musique in playing of a instrument.
Of course, if the concept of instrumentalist is quite naturally opposed to that Chanteur, nothing nevertheless the same musician can be at the same time “instrumentalist and singer”. It was the case, for example, of Georges Brassens which had as a practice of Chant er its Chanson S while being accompanied with the Guitare.
Whatever the Type of music to which they belong - Western or not, traditional, traditional, popular, varieties, pop, Jazz, Blues, etc -, the instrumentalists are usually classified according to their instrument.
