The first video podcast from this year’s Journées de la Francophonie (07.03-16.03.2008) presents the concert by Davy Sicard (08.03.2008 at Jazz Club Rura).
The singer Davy Sicard was born in the Réunion Island and is currently living in France. He sang in the mixture of Réunionnaise Creole and French, and, although the lyrics reflected his personal voice, just like the language in which they were sung, the history and the culture of the Réunion Island were also visibly present in many different ways (for example, the selection of themes and topics, words, or stories). “Journées de la Francophonie” is a celebration of the diversity of people who speak French and their culture, and the concert of Davy Sicard could not have been more appropriate as an opening act for the festival.
