In ‘Retour BXL-Paris’, you are taken on a musical journey through the repertoire of two chansonniers pur sang: Edith Piaf and Jacques Brel, two icons who gave color to the French chanson.
Their songs expose the French soul: romantic, a bit impulsive, and above all nostalgic.
Experience an unforgettable journey, from the bustling city ‘Bruxelles’ to the city of love ‘Paris’, with the wonderful songs of Piaf and Brel!
In 1946, Piaf writes her world-famous song ‘La vie en rose’ in Paris, and she remains remembered as one of the greatest French singers with, among others, ‘Milord’, ‘Non, je ne regrette rien’, ‘Hymne à l'amour’, ‘À quoi ça sert l’amour’ …
Brusselaar Jacques Brel breaks through from 1956 with ‘La valse à mille temps’, ‘Ne me quitte pas’, ‘Marieke’, ‘Le plat pays’ ... His chansons remain immortal 48 years after his death.
Les Triadours are:
Mireille Vaessen: vocals
