MIKA, UN ARTISTA SENZA CONFINI
Scritto da Monica Landro25/05/2024A cura di Monica Landro
Fotografie di Francesco PrandoniMika è molto più di un semplice cantante: è un artista completo che incarna sia una straordinaria capacità artistica che una profonda sensibilità personale. La sua musica è sì caratterizzata da melodie e ritmi di facile presa, ma non di meno è la profondità dei suoi testi che lo distingue. Per raccontare il suo nuovo album, la pop star britannica di origini libanesi, reduce da un tour in Europa, l’APOCALYPSE CALYPSO TOUR, farà un’unica tappa in Italia con un concerto speciale, venerdì 19 luglio, al Lucca Summer Festival.
Il titolo dell’album è “Que ta tête fleurisse toujours” che significa “Che la tua testa possa fiorire sempre”. È la frase di un messaggio di tua mamma. Perché ti ha scritto proprio questa frase e cosa voleva dirti?
“Que ta tête fleurisse toujours” è stato l’ultimo messaggio di compleanno che ho ricevuto da mia madre. Era disegnato a mano e raffigurava me con dei fiori che fuoriuscivano dalla mia testa. È un messaggio che rimarrà per sempre nel mio cuore, perché nonostante fosse triste e malata, ha scelto di mandarmi un disegno con tutti questi colori vivaci.
All’inizio non ne comprendevo il significato, ma dopo anni ho capito che era una sorta di provocazione: voleva darmi speranza e fiducia nel mio percorso e nella mia crescita personale e artistica. Voleva che continuassi a sbocciare come un fiore, a esplorare il mondo con una mente aperta e a farmi guidare dalla mia creatività: “Vai, corri dei rischi, prova cose nuove e sii creativo. Solo se sei creativo puoi essere felice e libero”. E ho colto questa lezione: ho realizzato la prima colonna sonora per un film, ho girato i festival, una nuova dimensione per me, e ho realizzato per la prima volta un album interamente in francese, che non poteva non intitolarsi così.Come mai l’esigenza di fare un album interamente in francese? E possiamo sperare, un giorno di sentire un tuo lavoro interamente in italiano?
Ci siamo trasferiti da Beirut a Parigi quando avevo poco più di un anno e ci sono rimasto fino all’età di 8 anni. Il francese è una lingua che mi ha sempre affascinato profondamente, perché non è solo una lingua, è un’intera parte della mia cultura personale. È come entrare in una porta che conduce a una parte diversa di me, che forse non si conosce bene. È una sensazione diversa, ma anche molto familiare.Ho anche un legame molto forte con l’Italia e non escludo la possibilità di realizzare un’opera interamente in italiano.
L’Italia è un Paese che adoro, e la lingua italiana ha una bellezza e un fascino tutto suo, e sarebbe una porta verso un altro lato di chi sono. Sarebbe un esperimento fantastico e una progressione dopo il francese.
Ma prima c’è un album in inglese… quello è il prossimo progetto!Nell’album c’è la canzone Apocalypse Calypso, da cui il nome del Tour: che significato dobbiamo dare alla parola Apocalisse, riferendoci al tour?
Quando ho scritto la canzone “Apocalypse Calypso” e ho scelto il nome per il tour, volevo trasmettere un senso di trasformazione e rinascita attraverso la musica.
L’apocalisse è normalmente associata a eventi catastrofici, ma per me può rappresentare un momento di svolta, di cambiamento profondo e radicale e nel contesto del tour è un’opportunità per liberarsi dalle vecchie abitudini, abbracciare nuove prospettive e vivere la vita in modo più autentico e appassionato.Questa tournée sta toccando gran parte della Francia, del Nord Europa e arriva fino in Italia. Un grande concerto, una nuova setlist in quattro diverse lingue: come ti sei preparato ad un evento così straordinario ed impegnativo?
È un lavoro davvero grande e ambizioso. La mia priorità non è stata di tipo economico, ma di creare un’esperienza emotiva, visiva e musicale molto forte per il pubblico.
Ho sviluppato uno spettacolo e un linguaggio scenico nel corso di 20 anni, che funziona come un collettivo di cui io sono il timoniere. Scrivo e sviluppo il concetto e lavoro con artisti di talento da tutto il mondo. Il principale partner per questo tour è stato Rodeo FX. Si tratta della principale società di effetti visivi al mondo. Tutto ciò che riguarda Stranger Things, Game of Thrones, Harry Potter, quasi tutti i film della Marvel! Una società sorprendente. È stato un enorme privilegio sviluppare con loro un concerto completo, in cui ogni immagine e animazione racconta una storia, una sorta di electro rock opera e una vera festa visiva.Ami l’Italia, questo lo hai detto tante volte: quali sono i pregi di questo Paese, le cose che ami di più e quali sono i difetti, quegli aspetti che proprio non ti convincono?
Non c’è nessun paese al mondo come l’Italia! Naturalmente è bellissima e c’è così tanta varietà. Quello che mi sorprende davvero è la capacità di sognare e creare idee con gli artisti, senza limiti all’estro, senza che qualcuno dica che sei pazzo. C’è una passione che incoraggia la creatività e permette di sviluppare ancora di più la propria estetica. Questo è molto importante, mantiene la tua poetica.A volte mi scontro ancora con una mentalità un po’ troppo conservatrice, soprattutto per quanto riguarda la mia sensibilità sociale, ma cerco di rispondere con l’arte e la musica, espressioni creative di libertà.
È ciò che definisco una resistenza poetica a una politica o a un pensiero intollerante. È un paese che mi provoca e mi ispira costantemente e che mi ha dato tanto, e per questo gli sarò sempre grato.
A luglio sarai al Lucca Summer Festival. È uno degli eventi musicali più significativi nel panorama italiano e internazionale, al quale aderiscono artisti di fama mondiale provenienti dal mondo del jazz fino alla musica classica. Che emozione provi ad essere inserito in questo Festival?
Far parte della line up del Lucca Summer Festival è un grande onore! Amo i festival che osano avere un programma eclettico. Questo aspetto stimola la creatività di noi artisti sul palco. Puoi fare le cose in modo diverso, esprimerti in modo diverso.
Amo Lucca e mi è sempre dispiaciuto non essermi mai esibito a questo Festival ma ora finalmente lo farò… e il mio after party con i miei amici di lì sarà epico!Puoi darci qualche anticipazione di come ti vedremo, cosa ci regalerai dal palco?
Non voglio rivelare troppo, voglio mantenere un po’ di mistero e di sorpresa!
Sto preparando uno spettacolo pieno di energia, colore e gioia! Ci saranno canzoni del mio repertorio e altre più recenti. Si tratta di creare un momento di magia. Tutto deve essere al servizio di questo.Sei sempre molto impegnato: come mantieni l’equilibrio tra la tua vita personale e la tua carriera musicale?
Trovare l’equilibrio tra vita privata e lavoro credo sia fondamentale per chiunque. Per me si tratta di trovare il giusto ritmo, perché la mia vita privata diventa l’ispirazione per i miei progetti professionali.
Ho iniziato a esibirmi sul palco all’età di 8 anni. Ricorderò per sempre quella prima volta: c’erano 3000 persone tra il pubblico, ero terrorizzato ma poi, una volta sul palco mi sono sentito calmo e incredibilmente…. felice! Credo che tutto sia iniziato lì.Il consiglio che posso dare è di fare della propria vita reale e di quella sul palcoscenico un’unica grande conversazione: più reale, più creativa e varia possibile.
Siamo un circo poetico, con colori e gioia, ma ci permettiamo di portare sul palco anche la nostra tristezza, per trasformarla. Il segreto dell’equilibrio tra vita privata e vita lavorativa è capire che non sono solo IO a farlo… siamo NOI, l’intero team e la famiglia.
Non si tratta mai di “io”, ma di “noi”.
MIKA, A BOUNDLESS ARTIST
Written by Monica Landro25/05/2024Written by Monica Landro
Photos by Francesco PrandoniMika is more than just a singer: he is a complete artist who embodies both an extraordinary artistic ability and a deep personal sensitivity. His music may be characterised by easy-going melodies and rhythms, but it is no less the depth of his lyrics that sets him apart. To present his new album, the Lebanese-born British pop star is touring Europe with the APOCALYPSE CALYPSO TOUR, and will also stop off in Italy, on Friday 19 July, with a special concert at the Lucca Summer Festival.
The title of the album is ‘Que ta tête fleurisse toujours’ which means ‘May your head always bloom’. It is a sentence of a message from your mum. Why did she write this exact sentence to you and what did she want to tell you?
“Que ta tête fleurisse toujours” was the last birthday message I received from my mother. It was hand-drawn and depicted me with flowers sticking out of my head. It is a message that will always stay in my heart, because even though she was sad and sick, she chose to send me a drawing with all these bright colours.At first I didn’t understand its meaning, but after years I realised that it was a sort of provocation: she wanted to give me hope and confidence in my path and in my personal and artistic growth. He wanted me to continue to blossom like a flower, to explore the world with an open mind and be guided by my creativity: ‘Go, take risks, try new things and be creative. Only if you are creative can you be happy and free’.And I took this lesson to heart: I made the first soundtrack for a film, I toured festivals, a new dimension for me, and I made an album entirely in French for the first time, which couldn’t help but be called that.
Why the need to make an album entirely in French? And can we hope, one day, to hear your work entirely in Italian?
We moved from Beirut to Paris when I was just over a year old and I stayed there until I was eight. French is a language that has always fascinated me deeply, because it is not just a language, it is a whole part of my personal culture. It is like entering a door that leads to a different part of me, one that is perhaps not well known. It feels different, but also very familiar.I also have a very strong connection with Italy and I don’t exclude the possibility of making a work entirely in Italian.
Italy is a country I love, and the Italian language has a beauty and charm all its own, and it would be a door to another side of who I am. It would be a fantastic experiment and a progression after French. But first there’s an album in English… that’s the next project!
In the album there is the song Apocalypse Calypso, hence the name of the tour: what meaning should we give to the word Apocalypse, referring to the tour?
When I wrote the song ‘Apocalypse Calypso’ and chose the name for the tour, I wanted to convey a sense of transformation and rebirth through music. The apocalypse is normally associated with catastrophic events, but for me it can represent a turning point, a moment of profound and radical change, and in the context of the tour it is an opportunity to break free from old habits, embrace new perspectives and live life more authentically and passionately.This tour is touching most of France, Northern Europe and is coming to Italy. A great concert, a new setlist in four different languages: how did you prepare for such an extraordinary and challenging event?
It is a really big and ambitious project. My priority has not been economic, but to create a very strong emotional, visual and musical experience for the audience. I have developed a show and a stage language over the course of 20 years, which works as a collective of which I am the helmsman. I write and develop the concept and work with talented artists from all over the world. The main partner for this tour was Rodeo FX. This is the world’s leading visual effects company. Everything from Stranger Things, Game of Thrones, Harry Potter, almost all the Marvel movies! An amazing company. It was a huge privilege to develop a complete show with them, where every image and animation tells a story, a kind of electro rock opera and a real visual feast.You love Italy, you have said it many times: what are the virtues of this country, the things you love most, and what are the flaws, those aspects that just don’t convince you?
There is no country in the world like Italy! Of course it is beautiful and there is so much variety. What really surprises me is the ability to dream and create ideas with artists, with no limits to your creativity, without anyone saying you are crazy. There is a passion that encourages creativity and allows you to develop your aesthetic even more. This is very important, it maintains your poetics.Sometimes I still come up against a mentality that is a bit too conservative, especially in terms of my social sensibility, but I try to respond with art and music, creative expressions of freedom.
It is what I call a poetic resistance to intolerant politics or thinking. It is a country that constantly provokes and inspires me and has given me so much, and for that I will always be grateful.
In July you will be at the Lucca Summer Festival. It is one of the most significant musical events on the Italian and international scene, featuring world-famous artists from the world of jazz to classical music. How do you feel about being included in this Festival?
Being part of the Lucca Summer Festival line-up is a great honour! I love festivals that dare to have an eclectic programme. This aspect stimulates the creativity of us artists on stage. You can do things differently, express yourself differently. I love Lucca and I’ve always regretted never having performed at this festival but now I finally will… and my after party with my friends there will be epic!Can you give us some previews of how we will see you, what you will offer us from the stage?
I don’t want to disclose too much, I want to keep some mystery and surprise!
I am preparing a show full of energy, colour and joy! There will be songs from my repertoire and more recent ones. It is about creating a moment of magic. Everything has to be in the service of that.You are always very busy: how do you keep the balance between your personal life and your music career?
Finding the balance between private life and work I think is crucial for anyone. For me it is about finding the right rhythm, because my private life becomes the inspiration for my professional projects. I started performing on stage when I was eight years old. I will always remember that first time: there were 3000 people in the audience, I was terrified but then, once on stage I felt calm and incredibly…. happy! I think it all started there.The advice I can give is to make your real life and your life on stage one big conversation: as real, as creative and as varied as possible.
We are a poetic circus, with colour and joy, but we also allow ourselves to bring our sadness to the stage, to transform it. The secret of work-life balance is to understand that it’s not just ME doing it… it’s WE, the whole team and family.
It is never about ‘I’, it is about ‘WE’.

Concert Review by Le Parisien
« Il ne nous reste qu’à voler » : le show multicolore et débridé de Mika à l’Accor Arena
Le 26 mars 2024
leParisien.fr
Cage dorée, piano ailée, tenues pop, bain de foule, explosion de cotillons… Le tout nouveau quadra Mika, la plus française des pop stars anglo-saxonnes, a donné lundi soir à l’Accor Arena de Paris un show de 2h15 hypercoloré et vitaminé devant près de 16 000 fans en folie.
Dans la lancée de son dernier album, « Que ta tête fleurisse toujours », son premier entièrement en langue française, Mika a débuté sa tournée internationale par l’Hexagone. Seize dates dans des Zénith et une dix-septième à l’Accor Arena, avant de revenir cet été dans les festivals.
Preuve de sa grande popularité, le plus francophile des chanteurs anglo-saxons et son « Apocalypse Calypso Tour » a rempli sans problème la grande salle parisienne lundi 25 mars au soir, avec près de 16 000 fans souvent venus déguisés.
Mika a annoncé la couleur à son public dans son disque. Après un album plus introspectif et sombre, l’heure est à la fête. Lorsque le rideau tombe, c’est un oiseau qui apparaît dans une cage. Mais pas un perdreau de l’année. L’oiseau est rouge et la cage dorée.
Mika est toujours aussi showman
Diablotin aux ailes déployées, Mika ouvre le bal avec deux nouvelles chansons hypervitaminées, la bien nommée « Dansez » et « Apocalypse Calypso ». Sa cage s’ouvre en deux, libère l’oiseau, qui vole dans tous les sens, à l’unisson avec l’arène parisienne. Ses quatre musiciens, tous en costumes roses, viennent l‘entourer sur des plates-formes mobiles.
« Salut Paris ! Vous avez compris le contrat, demande le chanteur déjà en nage. Je commence mon scan de Bercy, pour identifier les bulles de folie. Et je compte sur vous pour faire n’importe quoi, les enfants terribles de la fosse. Dehors, c’est un putain de lundi. Mais face à vous, il n’y a jamais de lundi. »
La fosse debout est déjà en ébullition, bras levés. Elle bondit de joie sur le rigolo « Sweetie Banana » et l’afro « Feels Like Fire » avec la chanteuse sud-africaine Nomfundo Moh et « Relax (Take It Easy), balancés dans un décor haut en couleur, avec un écran géant qui diffuse des images psychédéliques, des singes, des fleurs, des statues grecques… Mika est toujours aussi showman : « Ça va mes bananes ? »
Un hommage à Jane Birkin
Le premier moment de calme, c’est « Underwater ». « Cette chanson a un lien particulier avec cette salle, elle appartient à cette salle et cette salle appartient au public », rappelle-t-il en faisant chanter à tue-tête le refrain jusqu’au dernier rang des gradins. Frissons garantis. Le second, c’est « Jane Birkin », un hommage sur son dernier album qu’il commence avec la mélodie de « Je t’aime moi non plus » au piano.
Pendant « Andy », autre nouveau titre, ses fans lui font une surprise en réalisant une fresque multicolore avec leurs smartphones et des petits morceaux de papier de différentes couleurs. « Oh putain, lâche-t-il en le découvrant. Vous avez créé un arc-en-ciel ! »
Il en profite pour annoncer au public que le concert est filmé. Pas moins de 47 caméras pour un futur prime sur TF 1. « Je veux que la France, l’Europe voient comme vous êtes beaux » lance-t-il avant de lancer « Elle me dit » puis « Big girl (You are beautiful »), et de plonger dans la « fosse des enfants terribles ».
Il la traverse en sautant - on le devine dans la foule bondissante grâce au bouquet de fleurs qu’il lève au-dessus de lui - et grimpe sur un camion de glaces surmonté d’un grand soleil, comme dans une œuvre pop de Lichtenstein.
Avec cette ode à la différence, il rend hommage à une amie, « Queen Big », et transforme Bercy en « Butterfly Lounge », une boîte de nuit à Los Angeles « qui sentait la bière, le donut et où tout était possible ».
« Je voulais vous dire merci du fond du cœur »
Ses « vieux » tubes déboulent en mode électro. L’excitation monte d’un cran, les chœurs aussi. Pour « Grace Kelly », Mika est au piano. Un piano à queue blanc surmonté d’une aile. Il est en costume blanc, ce doit être son dixième de la soirée.
La mèche en bataille, il finit son tube debout sur le tabouret, puis sur le piano. « C’est la vie » commence avec un clin d’œil au « Vogue » de Madonna et « Love Today » avec le « Blue Monday » de New Order. Il grimpe sur l’enseigne lumineuse d’une vieille discothèque, le Club Apocalypso.
Il fait monter des fans, dont deux déguisés en bananes, et danse avec eux. Allongé par terre, il leur laisse faire le show. Et ils le prennent au mot, le portent par les bras et les jambes et le font tourbillonner…
Il fait scander « Love love love », comme un mantra anti-morosité. « Nous avons chanté avec les fesses. Il ne nous reste qu’à voler », lance-t-il au public avant les rappels explosifs. Et cette dernière confidence. « Je voulais vous dire merci du fond du cœur. Vous m’avez toujours sorti du noir, dans ma vie personnelle et en général. »
Ultime tenue évidemment dorée pour « We are Golden », dernier tube en guise de bouquet final après 2h15 de show. Torse nu en sueur, Mika danse avec les flammes, les cotillons et les confettis explosent au-dessus de la fosse.
Le rideau retombe, les lumières se rallument, Mika revient par une grande bouche clownesque saluer et remercier son public pour l’énergie partagé. Dehors, c’est « un putain de lundi ». Mais dedans, c’était la fièvre du lundi soir.

“All we have to do is fly”: Mika’s multi-colored and unbridled show at the Accor Arena
Golden cage, winged piano, pop outfits, crowd bath, explosion of party favors... The brand new quadra Mika, the most French of the Anglo-Saxon pop stars, gave a colorful and colorful 2h15 show on Monday evening at the Accor Arena in Paris. energized in front of nearly 16,000 crazy fans.
In the wake of his latest album, “Que ta tête fleurisse toujours”, his first entirely in French, Mika began his international tour in France. Sixteen dates in Zénith and a seventeenth at the Accor Arena, before returning to festivals this summer.
Proof of his great popularity, the most Francophile of Anglo-Saxon singers and his “Apocalypse Calypso Tour” easily filled the large Parisian hall on Monday March 25 in the evening, with nearly 16,000 fans, often coming in disguise.
Mika announced the color to his audience in his record. After a more introspective and dark album, it’s time to party. When the curtain falls, a bird appears in a cage. But not a partridge of the year. The bird is red and the cage golden.
Mika is still a showman
An imp with outstretched wings, Mika opens the ball with two new high-energy songs, the aptly named “Dansez” and “Apocalypse Calypso”. Its cage opens in two, releasing the bird, which flies in all directions, in unison with the Parisian arena. His four musicians, all in pink costumes, surround him on mobile platforms.
“Hi Paris! Have you understood the contract, asks the singer, already sweating. I start my scan of Bercy, to identify the bubbles of madness. And I'm counting on you to do anything, the enfant terribles of the pit. It's a ####ing Monday outside. But in front of you, there is never a Monday. »
The standing pit is already in turmoil, arms raised. She jumps for joy on the funny “Sweetie Banana” and the afro “Feels Like Fire” with South African singer Nomfundo Moh and “Relax (Take It Easy), swung in a colorful setting, with a giant screen that broadcasts psychedelic images, monkeys, flowers, Greek statues… Mika is still a showman: “Are you okay, my bananas? »
A tribute to Jane Birkin
The first quiet moment is “Underwater”. “This song has a special connection with this room, it belongs to this room and this room belongs to the public,” he recalls, making the chorus sing at the top of his lungs until the last row of the stands. Thrills guaranteed. The second is “Jane Birkin”, a tribute to his latest album which he begins with the melody of “Je t’aime moi non plus” on the piano.
During “Andy”, another new track, his fans surprise him by creating a multi-colored fresco with their smartphones and small pieces of paper of different colors. “Oh ####,” he blurted out when he discovered it. You've created a rainbow! »
He takes the opportunity to announce to the public that the concert is being filmed. No less than 47 cameras for a future prime on TF 1. “I want France, Europe to see how beautiful you are” he says before launching “She tells me” then “Big girl (You are beautiful ), and plunge into the “pit of enfant terribles”.
He crosses it by jumping - we can see him in the jumping crowd thanks to the bouquet of flowers that he raises above him - and climbs onto an ice cream truck topped with a large sun, like in a pop work by Lichtenstein.
With this ode to difference, he pays tribute to a friend, “Queen Big”, and transforms Bercy into “Butterfly Lounge”, a nightclub in Los Angeles “which smelled of beer, donuts and where anything was possible”.
“I wanted to say thank you from the bottom of my heart.”
His “old” hits come out in electro mode. The excitement goes up a notch, as do the choruses. For “Grace Kelly,” Mika is on piano. A white grand piano topped with a wing. He is in a white suit, it must be his tenth of the evening.
With his hair messy, he finishes his hit standing on the stool, then on the piano. “C’est la vie” begins with a nod to Madonna’s “Vogue,” and “Love Today” begins with New Order’s “Blue Monday.” He climbs on the neon sign of an old nightclub, Club Apocalypso.
He brings up fans, including two dressed as bananas, and dances with them. Lying on the ground, he lets them do the show. And they take him at his word, carry him by the arms and legs and whirl him around...
He chants “Love love love,” like an anti-gloom mantra. “We sang with our butts. All we have to do is fly,” he tells the audience before the explosive encores. And this last confidence. “I wanted to say thank you from the bottom of my heart. You have always brought me out of the dark, in my personal life and in general. »
Final obviously golden outfit for “We are Golden”, last hit as a final bouquet after 2h15 of show. Shirtless and sweating, Mika dances with the flames, party favors and confetti explode above the pit.
The curtain falls, the lights come back on, Mika returns with a big clown mouth to greet and thank his audience for the energy shared. It’s “a ####ing Monday” outside. But inside, it was Monday night fever.
Lundi 25 mars, à l'Accor Arena, Mika a ouvert le bal avec deux nouvelles chansons hypervitaminées, la bien nommée « Dansez » et « Apocalypse Calypso ». LP/Frédéric Dugit

My money, along with the money for the party in London, has already been sent to you by my friend @Er1k000 the other day.
Could you check it out?
Sorry it's complicated for you.
I was not able to send the money from my account - it says that the donation platform is not supported in my country.
Huge thanks for organising for the parties. Can't wait to see you there.

Fairly simple question.
Are the "tour books" sold at live venues and the "photo books" sold at the online MIKA store exactly the same?
Also, do you think my “photo book” that I ordered online is also numbered and signed??
I would be disappointed if it is no-signed version with a shipping charge of 66€

ロンドン 或いは ダブリン のコンサートに行く予定の方は、MFC party の企画が始まりましたので、チェックしてみてください
2024 MFC Party Planning Time - London, Possibly Dublin?
今回はやや規模の小さい会食形式（2022年にNYCでやった感じに近いかな？）になりそうですが、
ロンドン/ダブリンとも参加してまいります。日本からご参加されたい方、いらっしゃいましたらぜひ！
M＆GではないのでMIKAには会えませんが、世界中のMFCersに会える貴重で楽しい機会です。

Mika is Missing: Fun Fan Theories

MIKA was supposed to play for Burban Palettes' 35th Anniversary Party at Parc floral d'Orléans-La Source.
But it seems he missed his flight...
La République du Centre
Il a mis le feu au Parc floral !
04 June 2024
Didier Burban a organisé une fête grandiose, avec près de 2.000 convives, au Parc floral d'Orléans-La Source, vendredi soir.
Un Parc floral privatisé, près de 2.000 invités, des centaines de bougies allumées, de parapluies distribués, de bouteilles de champagne ouvertes, deux feux d'artifice, plus d'une heure de concert de Jean-Baptiste Guégan (la voix de Johnny Hallyday), un travail de toute la semaine pour l'équipe de XCPH, l'agence orléanaise d'événementiel
Même si le chanteur Mika, prévu en deuxième partie, a raté son avion et que la pluie, en revanche, était bien présente, la fête était époustouflante ! Didier Burban n'a pas lésiné pour fêter les 35 ans du groupe qu'il a fondé tout seul, parti de rien, sans diplôme. Mais, comme il l'a souligné la voix étranglée par l'émotion, entouré de fidèles qu'il a fait monter sur scène. « J'adore faire plaisir », a-t-il avoué : cela s'est vu !

He set fire to the Floral Park!
Didier Burban organized a grandiose party, with nearly 2,000 guests, at the Parc floral d'Orléans-La Source, Friday evening.
A privatized floral park, nearly 2,000 guests, hundreds of lit candles, distributed umbrellas, opened bottles of champagne, two fireworks, more than an hour of concert by Jean-Baptiste Guégan (the voice of Johnny Hallyday ), a week-long job for the XCPH team, the Orléans events agency
Even if the singer Mika, scheduled for the second part, missed his plane and the rain, on the other hand, was present, the party was breathtaking! Didier Burban didn't skimp on celebrating the 35th anniversary of the group he founded alone, starting from nothing, without a diploma. But, as he pointed out, his voice choked with emotion, surrounded by faithful people whom he brought on stage. “I love to please,” he admitted: it showed!
