viewers who followed 8:30 p.m., Sundaywere treated to two performances by Florent Pagny, guest this Sunday, April 2, 2023. Indeed, the singer was on the set of the show to talk about Pagny by Florent, published by Fayard, whose publication date is scheduled for Wednesday, April 5. Speaking of his long and beautiful career, the 61-year-old artist was surprised by the sudden arrival and piano of an old friend. Her name ? Alain Lanty!
Together, they replayed an iconic piece As per usual by Claude Francois. Then a few minutes later, he did it again, this time with Kendji Girac. The two artists interpreted the piece Encore taken from The school of life (the fourth album of the interpreter of Desperado, note), released on November 11. But when they start their performance, it’s not the music ofAgainbut that of My freedom of thought which sounded for a few seconds.
The two performers were surprised exchanging a few smiles before starting their title.
A clip shot in Argentina
A few months ago, the clip of this collaboration was unveiled. Pantagonia was chosen for the filming location. “This clip is not ‘just a clip’ for me… nor a ‘filming’. I lived 4 days out of time in the country of my friend Florent Pagny. A magnificent moment of sharing between us that I’ll never forget”.
Long before, he had given the conditions for this featuring. “It had been several years since I had asked him to do a duet but compared to our schedules or our album releases, it was never the right time. To have Florent Pagny, you have to wait and be patient! I waited 3 or 4 years”he revealed. “It’s been months since he sang, it’s one of the first times after everything that happened to him. He was very happy to sing and he interprets the song beautifully. We did something very vocal. With Florent Pagny, we have to take advantage of it!”
