Barely winner of three awards at the Victoires de la Musique, rapper Orelsan was at Tignes the lake this Wednesday, February 16 to ignite the Strikethe brand new performance hall of the alpine resort.
It was a little after midnight when Aurélien Cotentin alias Orelsan appeared on stage, with his famous gray locks and a sweatshirt from his Avnier brand, in front of no less than 1,100 fans and revelers who had come to celebrate the reopening of the clubs. And the rapper from Caen is not mistaken when he launches to the delirious public: “Did you come to celebrate the reopening of the boxes?“. The party can begin.
After starting the concert with the song Shounenthe rapper announces that this is the first time that he performs the titles of his latest album, Civilization released on November 19, live. The public is won over and the rapper plays songs, alternating downright melancholic and desperate lyrics (best day), with much more muscular productions (The smell of gasoline), but always with the humor and verve that we know him for (Alone with people around).
It is in a brand new place with a desired underground atmosphere – between the American Airstream caravans revisited in bars and the works of street artists that cover the walls of the establishment – that the 39-year-old rapper has been doing the show for more of one hour. Earlier in the evening, Orelsan had dined at the restaurant of the hotel Want You.
