Niki27 Posted February 15, 2008 Share Posted February 15, 2008 Mika chantera-t-il en français aux Francofolies ? le jeudi 14 février 2008, par Thierry CADET Selon "Le Parisien", le chanteur Mika devrait intervenir aux prochaines Francofolies de la Rochelle en interprétant des morceaux en français ! Ce dernier ayant, en effet, vécu de nombreuses années dans l'hexagone... Les concerts des Francofolies de La Rochelle, ce sont 70 000 spectateurs en 2007, le meilleur résultat depuis la création du festival. La programmation de la 24ème édition (du 11 au 16 juillet prochain) a été dévoilée... Mika en version française sera l'évènement de cet été. Ce dernier viendra refermer le festival le 16 juillet. Ayant grandi en France, parlant couramment le français et connaissant notre chanson, Mika devrait reprendre des chansons de notre répertoire. Un joli coup pour le festival qui n'a même pas eu à casser sa tirelire pour le convaincre : l'interprète de "Relax, Take It Easy" a, en effet, accepté un cachet moins important que d'habitude. Au programme également durant ces cinq jours : Yelle, la même journée que Mika, cette dernière ayant déjà assuré ses premières parties en Europe l'an dernier, Alain Bashung, Cali, Vanessa Paradis, -M-, Thomas Dutronc, Christophe Willem, Christophe Maé, Tiken Jah Fakoly, Amadou et Mariam, Rose, Camille, Yael Naim, Stephan Eicher, Benjamin Biolay, Moriarty, Daniel Darc, et le groupe The Do. Seront également prévus des hommages à Jacques Brel, Léo Ferré et Claude François (signé Nerry, ex-VRP pour ce dernier). http://www.chartsinfrance.net/actualite/news65963-22.html SUMMARY According to the French Newspaper "le Parisien", Mika should perform a few songs in French (mostly covers) during the Francofolies. Seems like Mika is really looking forward to this since he accepted reduced fees to perform during this festival. Yelle will also be performing there.

Not to sing in it... but to PRESENT it. He would be fantastic!!!!!!!!! Well uh... he speaks spanish French and english as far as I know ... As for his dutch, it's just a few words he learned by heart. As for flemish... IT IS DUTCH :roftl: Because if you start counting dutch and flemish as two different languages, then you can also add american, scottish, australian, canadian, south african, and the list will indeed be very long :wink2: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
