"Let's go out masked, ohé, ohé", does that remind you of anything? Compagnie Créole, a famous group from the 1980s, is revisiting one of its great successes At the Masked Ball to encourage barrier gestures and in particular the wearing of a mask in the prevention of the coronavirus, in collaboration with Afnor.
In a clip posted on YouTube, Au Bal masqué becomes Sortons masqués , a title recorded in the group's studio in Toulon (Var), with images made during confinement by members of the Compagnie Créole.
“Friends, let's be careful. Let's go out masked ”
“We had the idea of adapting Au Bal masqué , our 1985 success, with new lyrics because the epidemic is still there with clusters everywhere. It is not pedagogy but we want to help people who appreciate the song to make the wearing of the mask less painful, in a spirit of celebration and solidarity with each other ”, confided Clémence Bringtown, lead singer of the group.
“Friends, let's be careful. Let's go out masked. Yes, we must come out masked to protect ourselves and those we love. Masking yourself, helping each other, washing your hands and respecting the distances, it is vital to protect yourself. But let's not stop dancing, moving, but well masked! », Sings the Compagnie Créole in this new version of Au Bal masqué .
"This song brings human warmth"
“The project was undertaken on a voluntary basis by La Compagnie Créole, in association with Afnor. This song brings human warmth, good humor, in a difficult context for all. It is intended to help integrate the wearing of the mask in our daily life and could well be the song of the summer in the hotels and camping of the holiday makers ”, underlines in a press release the French Association of standardization which, at the peak of the shortage , made available an alternative fabric barrier mask model.
