We left him at the dawn of the cold weather of 2023 with an album that kept us warm during all these chilling months of all kinds. After a song on a tribute album in 2009, eight tracks from a personal mini-album in 2013 (“Boris, make me hurt”), Carmen Maria Vega delivered, in a careful music-hall register, 14 pieces by Boris Vian carried by his powerful and warm voice, his pep like no other. Fifteen years since the spicy brown, which certainly does not count as plums, has been a luxuriant comet of the French-speaking artistic sky.
Three albums on the clock for this Liza Minelli from here, belching her femininity in the faces of badgers, caressing her romanticism to warm chilled hearts. Behind her, the notes sound rock or goalante, ballad or funky lurches. We saw La Vega as Mistinguett, as a Bowie performer in an international collective tour, as the guy in “Garçons”, a delicious show where with Zaza Fournier and Cléa Vincent, she questioned the genre around the repertoire of Jacques Canetti.
Carmen Maria Vega back on stage as a duo.

As a duo
The luxuriant woman born in Guatemala almost forty years ago is also upsetting while smiling in “The Song of the Goat”, an autobiographical investigation into her origins from Central America to Belgium, discovering that she was the subject of trafficking of children. The Carmen of many lives returns to the front of the stage this spring for a duo show, flanked by the amazing Antoine Rault, bassist, guitarist, arranger and magician of machines.
He plays almost everything, she sings in a crazy rhythm. Rock, electro, song: after an “Ultra Vega” tour in 2016, a third album “Santa Maria” in 2017, here she is in “Carmen Ultra” on this show where satin, leather and velvet are on an erotic and laughing spree, wear -flags of a conquering feminism. “I’m visiting my repertoire but I’m also going to offer new pieces,” she tells us. Haste.
Friday May 3 (8:30 p.m.) in Bordeaux, Blonde Vénus. Price: 12 euros.
