“He has a voice that moves you.” An unanswerable argument to which no one has found an answer. Saturday evening, Sylvette will be accompanied by all her family to go see the one she qualifies as one of her fans. After correction, “No, I’m the fan!”. Appointment is given room of the Palio in Boulazac, for the 500th concert hosted by the hall since its creation. Kendji has already performed there in December 2016. For this Saturday, the gauge of almost 3,500 people in seats is practically full.
Early life fan
Concert tickets are Christmas presents. “My daughter knew I would like it, so she took places for everyone.” And indeed Sylvette is a fan of the first hour. From the artist’s television debut on The Voice, to the release of each CD. “My daughter burned us our favorite songs on a USB key to listen to when we go by car” abounds Patrick her husband, before specifying “Afterwards, we don’t listen to Kendji on repeat, either. We alternate. But we have to recognize that he has a voice.” Both know how to quote the collaborations of the Périgord singer: “He can sing with Aznavour, Florent Pagny and Maître Gims”.
Kendji’s first concert
It will be the first time that Sylvette attended a Kendji concert. A date that she has been waiting for a lot and that she can’t wait to share with her family. “And hey, he’s nice to watch” teasing Patrick, “A charming young man, we will say! Young 25-year-old girls must watch him closely, even seventy-year-old grannies watch him!laughed Sylvette.
Quite discreet in her daily life, Sylvette assures us: “I’m no longer old enough to climb on chairs!” But she has no doubt that carried away by the atmosphere of the room she lets herself go to sing with her idol.
