The opening ceremony of the Paris 2024 Olympic Games will remain one of the highlights of this year in France and around the world. With the historic record of viewers in front of their screens in France, the event imagined by Thomas Jolly has been the subject of much discussion, whether for its audacity, its beauty, but also the choice of artists selected to bring this incredible evening to life. If the return to grace of Céline Dion or the daring performance of Philippe Katerine made the headlines, the presence of the singer Aya Nakamura has also caused a lot of ink to flow, especially before the evening.
A fierce hatred of some people was poured against the 29-year-old artist and six people were taken into custody after racist remarks against her. Despite everything, Aya Nakamura did not give up and, accompanied by the Republican Guard, she mixed her hits Pookie And Djadja to the famous For Me Formidableby Charles Aznavour. A unanimously acclaimed performance, but what do the relatives of the late Franco-Armenian artist think? The Voice of the North spoke with Mischa Aznavour, one of the children of the famous singer and visibly, the performance of the Franco-Malian singer was unanimously appreciated by those close to the legend.We are very happy” assures this son who most resembles our colleagues.
Mischa Aznavour validates Aya Nakamura’s version
News that should certainly please Aya Nakamura, but Mischa Aznavour does not stop there in his praise. According to the 53-year-old man, an entrepreneur living in Geneva, Switzerland, his father “would have liked” the modernized version of his song. “There’s no point in singing his songs like him.”assures Mischa Aznavour. The latter even goes so far as to take a very famous French artist as an example. “It’s like Molière, if we want it to continue to speak to people”it must not be frozen. “We cannot be backward-looking”, he concludes.
A more than favorable opinion from Mischa Aznavour which should certainly please Aya Nakamura.
