Louvre's

"I am from Paris, it is
very special for me to
do the concert here, in the most famous museum in the world. It was a great success in America, but doing it in the city where I was born is very special," he said in an interview with
EFE

making them happy,
" explained the author of hits such as' When love takes over ',' Gettin 'over you' and 'One love'.
Guetta, born in 1967, has ensured that his goal is also to help his fans in these difficult moments in which the population "most needs culture and entertainment to forget and have a good time."
"It has been difficult for me too because what I do is share with people, be on stage and see their reaction when I put on new music, but I think it was important to be here for my fans in the most difficult moments," he assured .
The French DJ has said, in statements in Spanish, that 2020 has been a
hard year at the work level
since he has not been able to give concerts.

POSITIVISM AND CRAZY PARTY IN 2021
In spite of everything, Guetta defines himself as a
positive man
and bets that "2021 is going to be the year of crazy parties like never before in our lives."
"I really want to party," he admitted, and although "virtual is fine for now, we need people."
"There is nothing that can be compared to a real 'show'."
The concert, which was recorded this Tuesday night and will be broadcast on social networks at 23:45 local time (22:45 GMT), will integrate images of the Louvre museum and some of the works of art that it houses to put the contrast between the modernity of the pyramid and the music and history of the place.
A sign that "culture has no age", according to Guetta.
The artist, who in his career has sold nine million records in the world and has more than 50 million followers on Facebook, has also explained that he
hopes to get vaccinated soon,
as it is the only remedy he sees for the virus.
"In my country there are many people who do not want to do it, but I do not see any other solution. What can we do? Wait more and more? We are all going to be sick. I have made my decision and I am going to do it," he said. saying.
