Despite the pandemic, the 36th Victoires de la Musique ceremony, which takes place this Friday evening at the musical Seine in Boulogne (Hauts-de-Seine), has managed to hold on to celebrate the world of music and concerts.
Some recorded sequences.
In order not to have too many people on the D-Day of the Victoires de la Musique, Julien Doré's opening live performance with a choir of young children was recorded on Thursday afternoon under live conditions.
“Two or three sequences were captured the day before, explains Jean-Yves de Linares, the general manager of the event.
It is pure security to prevent that with the choirs and the dancers, there are too many of us backstage.
Ditto for the performance of Gaël Faye, those of Camélia Jordana, also accompanied by a choir of several dozen people, and Lous and The Yakuza.

“I feel recognized this evening because my disc was released too late to be named in the category best album, entrusted us backstage the singer celebrated by a Victoire d'honneur.
But tonight, this award means a lot to me.
I was moved when Vanessa Paradis and Thomas Dutronc took over my titles.
I am also very touched that Eddy de Pretto sang.
I love him, I even went to his concerts.
This evening I am moved, I had already had a Victory in 92 but it was after the death of Serge
