AMI­TIÉS: Celebrating friendship without borders on their new album – empathetic, fresh and original!

Für ihr Album ​„Ami­tiés“ („Freund­schaf­ten“) haben Valé­rie Saj­dik und der fran­zö­si­sche Star-Pia­nist Céd­ric Chau­veau Lie­dern wie ​„La mer“ (Tre­net) eine neue Far­be gege­ben, Hits wie ​„Mensch“ (Her­bert Grö­ne­mey­er) und ​„Ein biss­chen Frie­den“ (ESC-Sie­ger 1982) in eine fran­zö­si­sche Ver­si­on umge­wan­delt, das poli­tisch bedeu­ten­de Lied ​„Tout va très bien, Madame la Mar­qui­se“ in Reg­gae trans­for­miert. Und Fran­çoi­se Har­dys Hit ​“Com­ment te dire adieu”? Turned into a bossa nova ballad with an elegant piano riff.

With wit and charm, Vienna-born Valérie, two-time Amadeus Award winner, guides us through the evening, tells anecdotes from her adopted home of Saint Privat in France, which also gave its name to her internationally renowned electro-chanson project with Waldeck, and about her concert tours, which recently took her to Senegal and via Paris to New York.

The passionate European thus evokes the unifying element of music and demonstrates, among other things, how closely related French chanson and Viennese song are… An evening full of surprises, as one has come to expect from Valérie.

One or two of their hits from her repertoire will also be included.
