Zaho de Sagazan leads the race with five nominations

It was in the Roaring Years style and sequinned blue velvet decor of Nouvelle Eve that the nominees for the Victoires de la Musique 2024 were announced. The evening will take place on February 9, 2024 live on France 2 and France Inter from Seine Musicale.

Zaho de Sagazan is in the lead with five nominations for the Victoires de la Musique, the organization announced on Monday January 8. The singer-songwriter is cited in the categories of Female Revelation, Stage Revelation, Album, Song and Audiovisual Creation. The ceremony is scheduled for February 9.

Since 1985, the Victoires de la Musique have rewarded artists of variety song, and for the record, that year, the first Victoires ceremony took place opposite, at the Moulin Rouge. Master of ceremonies on Antenne 2: Daniel Balavoine and Renaud.

This 39th edition will be broadcast on February 9 by France 2 live from the Musical Stage hosted by Léa Salamé and Ciryl Féraud. Léa Salamé who declares “thus leaving the political prism a little for music that unites” And to quote Victor Hugo: “Music is noise that thinks”.

An edition under the sign of reform and an overhaul declares the newly appointed president Vincent Frerebeau, founder of the label Tôt ou Tard who assumed this responsibility between 205/06 and 2012/13. He declares that he wants to answer “to this little music that we sometimes hear: there would be a problem of diversity, of oneself and of Parisianism. He adds “wanting to fight small arrangements between friends.”

The measures implemented involve a larger academy, increasing from 800 to 882 people, and, new, they are all professionals. There are 9 categories compared to 8 last year. And in the end, it will be a jury of 32 people who will choose the winners, made up of professionals, festival programmers and artists (whose names are not communicated). Among these nominations we will know who will succeed Pierre de Maere, Stromae, Angèle or November Ultra, the winners of the 2023 edition.
