For over 10 yearsJean-Luc Fonck delights listeners VivaCité every Friday morning in the 8/9by offering a new song incorporating four words imposed by the listeners. This meeting is often an opportunity for guests to discover his surreal world.
This is how Patrick Bruel crossed paths several times Jean-Luc on the board. Fascinated by his offbeat spirit and his talent for improvisation, a bond was born between the two artists. During a meeting, he threw out the idea of a rap duo.
On February 29, 2024, on the occasion of the 20 years of VivaCité dont Patrick Bruel is the godfather, this idea comes to life. On the stage of the Forum de Liège, the two artists perform the title for the first time “Old-fashioned“written by Jean-Luc. The almost improvised duo hits the markthe infectious energy of the song resonates in the room.
A few months later, Patrick invites Jean-Luc to go on stage during the Spa Francofolies July 19, on stage Pierre Rapsat. Again, “Old-fashioned“causes a sensation: the catchy chorus seduces the spectators. An unexpected and magical moment occurs when the audience spontaneously sings the legendary”Torremolinos“. Patrick, who did not know this cult song by Jean-Luctakes up the challenge: after a quick exchange of agreements on stage, the two artists share the title; the moment is unforgettable and engraved in the memory of the thousands of festival-goers present.
The icing on the cake: this performance turns into a phenomenon on social networks. The video goes viral and has several hundred thousand views in just a few hours.
