Nolwenn Leroy covers Sting’s most beautiful song for Mayotte, and it’s sublime!

Yesterday evening, France Télévisions shook up its program schedule to offer a special evening on France 2 called “United for Mayotte”, following the devastating passage of Hurricane Chido. The toll currently stands at 23 dead and 1,373 injured, but it is expected to rise in the coming hours. While the drinking water and sanitation network is out of service, health authorities are warning of a coming health crisis. Thus, Karine Baste and Nagui hosted a program last night placed “ under the sign of solidarity and hope » : « There is an emergency and in this emergency, many artists have mobilized to come this evening, obviously to support the victims of the hurricane, to solicit the donations they need. We’re counting on you! The loyalty and compassion of the public of France and France Télévisions can no longer be called into question ».

“We are nothing compared to the forces of nature”

Thus, Nolwenn Leroy, Raphaël, Alain Chamfort, the pianist Khatia Buniatichvili, Marc Lavoine, Ycare, Angélique Kidjo, Kimberose or Cali gave their voice, in order to call for donations for the Fondation de France in order to support the 101st French department. To start the evening “United for Mayotte”, Nolwenn Leroy chose to cover “Fragile” by Sting, whose lyrics resonated in the hearts of the audience. “ Lest we forget how fragile we are / On and on the rain will fall / Like tears from a star like tears from a star / On and on the rain will say / How fragile we are how fragile we are » intoned the singer, recently seen in the series “Brocéliande”, with emotion, accompanied by three musicians, while images of the damage in Mayotte were broadcast on the screens.

« I think this song sums it all up, how nothing we are in the face of the forces of nature, how much we can be this little island in the middle of the ocean and the eye of the storm passes over these homes. , on all these people. We can’t not be present this evening » confided Nolwenn Leroy, keen to convey “ hope and comfort “. This morning, France Télévisions announced that more than 5 million euros were raised last night, including 111,000 euros from advertisers mobilized by FranceTV Publicité. These donations will be donated to the Fondation de France, “ in support of local emergency projects for reconstruction and support for populations ».
