In concert at the Vieilles Charrues Tuesday evening, the singer Gaël Faye grants before going on stage an interview at the microphone of Emilie Mazoyer.
The artist explains his happiness to finally be able to defend his new titles in concerts, but also his surprise at the new dimension that his title "Boomer" takes.
INTERVIEW
This is also why the artists so lacked the stage: surprisingly successful titles which, thanks to the public, take on an unexpected dimension during concerts.
This is what Gaël Faye is currently experiencing with one of the tracks from his latest album,
Lundi méchant
, as he explains from the Vieilles Charrues at the microphone by Emilie Mazoyer.
"It's fabulous because I rediscover my new songs on stage. I have the impression of a rebirth", rejoices the singer and author.

"The magic of concerts is that there are songs that I didn't pay too much attention to on the album that show up on stage," he continues.
"There is even a title that was definitely not on the album, which turns out to be the title that returns the timing of the concert. It's
Boomer
."
A song that mocks the conservative reactions of part of the baby boomer generation.
"
Boomer
rolls with the window open, his arm on the door!"
The surprise of this song began to emerge during Gaël Faye's first rehearsals for his tour.
"We wondered where this energy came from, we had not suspected it at all in the studio. So much so that, until the last moment,
Boomer
was not to appear on the album", presses t -he.
On stage however, the reaction of the public, who dances from the first notes and sings the chorus by heart, leaves little doubt as to the success of this song.
"In the end, it is THE star of the concert. This song rolls with an open window, the arm on the door and the Ray-Bans at the end of the nose!", Laughs Gaël Faye.
This "magic of concerts" that Gaël Faye describes is not, according to him, immediate. It is being built little by little, all the more after the hectic year 2020. "For words to become gestures, you have to make dates. You have to do and redo," he believes. "As we had not been on stage for more than a year, it is true that, in the very first dates, I had the impression of this separation between on the one hand my lyrics and my brain, and of the other the moving body. All of that was not aligned. Now, there it is, I feel well aligned. " An alignment that seduced the Carhaisian public.
