The singer was revealed during her participation in Eurovision 2021, with her cover of “Voilà”, performed by Dalida. “She will present her show in Seissan, which has only been performed three times: Dalida, Diva Tzigane,” explains the festival management. Through this show, the singer-songwriter and Didier Varrod, musical director of Radio France, hope to pay tribute to the Franco-Italian icon. She will be accompanied by the Balkan quartet Aälma Dili, who “particularly ignited the scene of Welcome in Tziganie in 2024”.
“Take the audience into an unstoppable trance”
