Lisa LeBlanc received a triumphant welcome at the MTélus on Thursday evening for her “Chiac Disco” concert, as part of the Francos de Montréal. After an energetic and dancing entrance in front of a completely unleashed public, Lisa LeBlanc did not need any effort to set the mood, the shrill cries almost covering the music at certain times.

Dressed in a sparkling sequined ensemble, she continued with “Pourquoi faire faire today”, the essential ear verse from her latest album, with its musical loops worthy of the best disco standards of the time.
His old songs were not forgotten during this evening. “Soft brain”, for example, did not denote at all.
Between two anecdotes about the habits of the people of her small village at the local restaurant, she had fun with “Gossip”, followed by the rocking “Between you pi me pi the wood cord”.
Halfway through the concert, she simply picked up her acoustic guitar to resume, all alone on the stage, her song “Kraft Dinner”, which the audience took up in chorus with her. His group finally returned for “Y fait hot”, followed by the very country “J’pas un cowboy”.
With her natural bilingualism, she even allowed herself to do many of her English pieces, including the forging “You Look Like Trouble (But I Guess I Do Too)”. The disco then quickly turned into an intense rock concert, to everyone’s delight.
A bassist, a guitarist, a keyboardist, a drummer and a percussionist surround the singer, and excellent musician, who gave everything during the evening.
“It’s crazy, it’s been since 2018 that I haven’t done a show,” she said, before admitting to being flabbergasted by the reception of the public.
After a fiery “Acadian menu”, she continued in the festive and dancing atmosphere with “Want to enter my bubble?” The disco party seemed set up to last until the end of the night.
First electrical part
As an appetizer, the Lumière collective was electrifying. The five musicians and the singer of the group radiated their music with swaying rhythms, with a nostalgic flavor.
“AMIESAMOUR”, the first album of this original musical project initiated by Étienne Côté, transposes beautifully on stage. The madness of the singer, reinforced by the undeniable talent of his acolytes, transports us to a space-time where everything is possible.
Among the repertoire unveiled with the album, songs like “I love you” or “Freud is dead” deploy an incandescent energy that should however be channeled into a crescendo. But the youth benefits from all pardons.
In the first part of the French tour of Pierre Lapointe, last month, Lumière laid the first milestones of a career that we wish him to be international.
Lisa LeBlanc continues her festival tour all summer before embarking on a theatrical tour that should keep her busy all fall.
