Since 1993, Patrick Bruel is the essential face of the Enfoirés. The singer has not missed a Enfoirés tour, and even more so, a concert. The singer and actor has been participating in Les Enfoirés shows for thirty years. Guest of Bernard Montiel on RFM this Saturday January 20, the professional poker player wanted to discuss his role as “taulier”and is very proud to be the most present artist. In fact, it has a total of 32 participationsand is ahead of Michael Jones and Zazie, with 28 participations each (the latter has not missed any concert since his arrival in 1997), then Jean-Jacques Goldman with 27 participations, and Mimie Mathy and Patrick Fiori, who has also not missed no concert since joining the troupe in 1999. “Even in 2020, when I blew my knee during the first rehearsals, I still managed to do my part every night. It’s an honor, it’s a joy, it’s doing what’s useful. pleasant” rejoiced Patrick Bruel.
This year, Patrick Bruel has the immense joy of being the composer of the new anthem Bastards Until the last onewhich he designed with Ycare: “The most beautiful sentence of this song that we have just written with Ycare is: If it is true that we are having fun, the years accuse us of yet another song. I love this sentence, who wants say everything. We are here. We would have thought, we would have hoped, and Coluche would not have imagined that we would still be here perhaps 35 years later, that life, that society, that the Western country in which we is, would not have to distribute 180 million meals. That’s it, that’s how it is. We are here !” explained the actor First name and Cheetah.
Patrick Bruel also wanted to deny the rumors suggesting that the artists of Les Enfoirés are paid: “I like to remind you that all the artists who are present do it absolutely voluntarily, give up all their rights, do not receive a cent. I want to remind you of this because there are always people who ask me the question. There has never been an artist at Restos du coeur who received a cent to come. Technicians of course, musicians of course, they are people who work. But the artists are all 100% volunteers.” This year, the new Enfoirés concert marks the arrival of five new faces: Gaëtan Roussel, Ycare, Santa, Claudia Tagbo and Guillaume Diop.
Six big names are making their comeback, Mimie Mathy absent?
This new concert also marks the return of six big names from Les Enfoirés: Lara Fabian, Raphaël Shy’m, Pascal Obispo, M. Pokora and Jean-Baptiste Maunier. The first had not returned for 19 years, the second for 15 years, the third for 8 years, the fourth for 8 years, the fifth for 7 years and the sixth for 4 years! As for the major absentees, Amel Bent is her first absentee since her arrival in the troupe in 2006, and Jean-Louis Aubert will be absent for the first time since 2008. Lorie Pester, Gérard Jugnot and Kad Merad, faithful among the faithful, who hardly miss any concerts, they will also be missed. Mimie Mathy, inseparable from the Enfoirés troupe, has not been announced and does not seem to be present, for the first time since joining the troop in 1993. This absence, however, remains to be confirmed.
