Finally someone did a reaction on his concert 🙌🙌🎉

I saw him perform this concert at 3 separate occassions, in different setting and all 3 were epic. Pure genius in every sense of the word. Fils de joie clip dropping in 2hours.!!!!!

When is part 2 coming out?! I love your reaction

Best concert I've ever seen. I wish I could have been to the Madison Square Garden one in 2015, but I'm unable to leave my apartment as I'm too ill. I'm so happy you are watching the entire concert. Finally, someone listened. It's brilliant. Someone already explained about Ta Fete below. There are French/Belgian cultural references that we won't get unless we research them Stromae is half Belgian Flemish (his Mum) and his Dad was a Rwandan Tutsi who met his Mum in Brussels while attending University there for architecture. He was pressured to return to Rwanda by his father who paid for his education and wanted him to return to help build Rwanda. Unfortunately, he was murdered along with one million other Tutsi in the 1994 genocide (Papaoutai translates to Daddy where are you?). Batârd means mixed race, not pure white, a racist word. Not bastard as in English. There are some wonderful interviews with Paul on KZfaq either with subtitles or in English. I loved the animation at the start and in various other points during the concert. Stromae thinks way outside the box. Thank you for doing a review of this amazing concert. I've watched it so many times I've lost count.

I don't speak English well, so I'm sorry if I don't understand what you are saying. In French "faire la fête" means "to party" but "faire TA fête" means "I'm going to give you a very bad time", the song plays on this ambiguity. And "bâtard" in French means, for example, to be a child of an African and a European, as is the case with Stromae, which is the opposite of a "pure race".

yeeeeees! thank you that's amazing to react to that concert ! sometimes i watch it just to feel that energy again and again and againnnnnn!

I'm from Montreal and i missed that concert in 2014. I have my tickets for the new concert in novembre. Thanks for the reaction.

Looking forward to seeing the other parts. It's really interesting to watch.

Nice to see someone enjoy this concert for the first time! Hope you’re already working on the other parts. Can’t wait to see the rest. You’ll build an extra audience if you hurry and catch the Stromae hype train that’s kicked off with his new album.

Bâtard is a fascinating song because it is playing off of juxtaposition. On the one hand it describes the pressure to conform to one category or the other, that is, to not be a “bastard” in the traditional sense of the word. On the other hand the chorus opens with “not one or the other, you're a bastard, as you have always been and will forever be”. Which is in my mind an obvious use of the other sense of the word, that is, being a jerk. For context, Stromae's father was from Rwanda, but was killed in the genocide. His mother is Belgian, which is ALSO a country with a long history of political division between the two largest populations, the Flemish and the Walloons. With this context in mind, this entire song, and especially the phrases “But are you Hutu or Tutsi?”, and “Flamand or Walloon?”, become that much more meaningful.

Can't wait to see the rest of the concert reaction ♡♡♡♡

Hey man, love your reactions to Stromae! For the Racine Carree concert make sure check out Ave Cesaria and Tous Les Meme, those performances are absolutely phenomenal

The best concert on KZfaq!!!

i like to watch your react, you look so kind

Thank you for mentioning the J key, I did not know that :)

A bastard is usually use for dogs without a specific breed … Stromae wanted to point the fact that some people could not find their place in society because of ideas, race, job etc..

Btw just for extra pleasure, his video for Ta Fete is absolutely incredible. I love it so much. Take a look here: kzfaq.info/get/bejne/q8iclst7vuDMkaM.html For me it had some kind of Hunger Games vibe

the expression "faire la fête" means both "have a party" and also "they are after you for trouble"

The sound you were asking for is the synth! Don't know what type of synthesizer is he using but its a cool lead!

Bastard in french is actually an insult which means assh**

like someone stated below the bastard in this case it someone who is either excluded by some groups or either does not want to fully commit to all thoughts and mannerisms you can find in that group. someone who keeps his mind open and looks different to the world than others i was born in flanders as a kid from Dutch parents and for many i was that Dutch kid but when I visited my family i was that Belgian kid, so in that sense I was also a bastard , because i was neither one nor the other
