Deprived of concerts and movement, thousands of musicians have been transforming their social networks into places for sharing since Monday. Impossible to (publicize) all initiatives as there are, stars or anonymous. That said, several French artists have already set up regular meetings. The first was Greg Zlap, former collaborator of Johnny Hallyday, who gives a harmonica lesson for beginners at 2 p.m. every day on his Facebook page. The latter will be invited to play at its next concerts.
Christine & The Queens sets an appointment every day at 6 p.m. on her Instagram to "fool boredom" with "guests of choice and questionable concepts". It started on Monday with 14 minutes of piano voice songs.
Claire Keim, who had delighted us since September with her #chansonspourlesieuvs, covers played at her home on the piano, reappeared by surprise this Tuesday at 4.30pm with the premiere of # chansonspourlesconfinés, a cover by Bruno Mars.

The coronavirus also inspires songs. La Grande Sophie put online this Tuesday a video where she sings for the first time "Together", which she has just created and who wants to be optimistic: "We do not know how long / We will have to stay patient / We we will do it together / So that the life that brings us together / Rises from the ashes.

In the electro sphere, DJ Snake also shares the creation of an anti-Coronavirus “anthem” from a sample of CardiB's voice.
Patti Smith and John Legend are expected
Abroad, many artists find themselves under the #TogetherAtHome banner. Chris Martin of Coldplay gave a 30-minute concert on YouTube alone on Monday evening. Relaxed, at home, he played the songs that were asked of him. “I listen to your suggestions. This is the first time I have done this. He will probably do it again. Neil Young starts the evenings by the fire. After singing at home to support the democratic candidate Bernie Sanders, the Canadian will regularly share on his site "fireside sessions" filmed by his wife Daryl Hannah.
Mike Massy, ​​Lebanese singer revealed by the musical “Jesus”, meanwhile launches this Tuesday at 8:30 pm #concerts in pajamas. On the other side of the globe, Australian country singer Keith Urban gave a 30-minute concert in his rehearsal studio with his wife Nicole Kidman on camera and backing vocals. We expect this Tuesday Patti Smith, who announced without giving an hour a live on Instagram with his daughter Jesse, and John Legend, who gave an appointment at 9 p.m.
