in the East, a girl from the East

Patricia Kaas has travelled extensively on long tours since the beginning of her career in 1987. In the first decade of the 21st century, she established a unique relationship with the Russian public, which gave her the opportunity for original and spectacular special operations.

In partnership with the exhibition It’s a song that resembles us – Worldwide hits of French-language popular music At the Cité internationale de la langue française in Villers-Cotterêts, these chronicles look in detail at each of the stories presented there.

There are careers that escape, like that of Patricia Kaas. In 2010 on a stage in Moscow, she wrote an epilogue to the tour Kabaretwith a K as in Patricia Kaas. The male voice that accompanies her is that of Soso Pavliashvili, a singer from the group of Russian stars who come to sing a duet with Patricia Kaas. The album Kabaretthe eighth of her career, was released in 2008 after five years of recording silence. An album that she wanted as a very personal tribute to the 1930s that fascinate her and in which, for the first time, she participated in writing a song, One last time.

Patricia Kaas has always sung abroad. A little girl from Forbach in the Moselle department, she started singing at fairs in Germany. Since then, she has continued to travel throughout Europe and Asia with endless tours of 100 or 200 dates per album in 15 or 20 countries.
