Madonna’s concert at Copacabana will bring together 1.5 million spectators in front of an 800 m² stage, and will require 270 tonnes of material. Olivier Cachin, journalist at Rock&Folk, explains the reasons for the inexhaustible craze for the 65-year-old star.
Madonna’s concert, which closes her latest tour, is “one of the concerts of the century”. And for good reason : “Madonna is the last big star of the 80s”, explains Olivier Cachin, journalist at Rock&Folk. “She is still there and still relevant at 65, no offense to some,” he explains.
40 years of career
How to explain such enthusiasm? For Olivier Cachin, Madonna “is someone who has always been able to reinvent herself, including at times when people said ‘she’s finished’. (…) Her latest albums are not as successful as Like A Virgin, but she remains one of the stars of the music and the queen of pop.” The singer is celebrating her 40th career. “We feel that she has an assessment to convey, a message as a woman. As she said in Paris: ‘My provocation is to always be there'”, continues Olivier Cachin. His concert with spectacular economic benefits “shows she can spank newer stars”he concludes.
