A tribute to Charles Aznavour planned on France 2!

Among the major figures of French chanson, Charles Aznavour (listen on the 50s web radio by Allzic) remains an unmissable icon, on par with Jacques Brel. This kind of legend continues to inspire new generations of artists, many years after his passing. Recently, Louane and Parg, the Armenian representative at Eurovision, delivered a joint performance of "La Bohème", creating a moment filled with emotion. A true tribute to this music monument, who passed away in 2018. And that's not all: a special program in honor of the great Charles will soon be broadcast on France 2, featuring a prestigious cast to celebrate his work.

For Charles Aznavour is the most famous French singer in the world, and even beyond our borders, he has left a mark. The proof: the sample used by Bad Bunny for his international hit "Monaco" last year comes directly from "Hier Encore". He certainly deserved a quality tribute evening, in the program "Le Grand Echiquier" which will air this Thursday, March 29 on France at 9:10 PM. As for the cast, we weren't lying: only top artists, including Patrick Bruel, Dany Brillant, Zaho de Sagazan, Carla Bruni, Matthieu Chedid, Thibaud Cauvin, Charlotte Cardin, Solann, and we've covered the most well-known names in French chanson.

It should be noted that his granddaughter Kristina Aznavour will also be present alongside Erik Berchot to sing. But that's not all: Oxmo Puccino, Christina Galstian, Narek Kazazyan, the Yeraz Company, and the Orchestra of the Royal Opera of Versailles conducted by Adrien Perruchon will also be part of the event. In short, an enormous cast in terms of quality and quantity, with people from all styles, who will perform together on stage in homage to Charles Aznavour, likely covering his greatest hits.

We hope this will please the singer's fans, who are still numerous!
