Welcome to our Stromae Fils de Joie reaction!!! This is our latest video reaction from our new music reaction channel Beer’s & Bars. Here we listen, react, and breakdown bars while enjoying some of our favorite beers. Today we extended our stay in Belguim as we witness an excellent story about what appears to be a funeral of a very well known figure and it also appears that there were many flaws that we exposed during this event. This video shows Stromae defending the deceased persons character as they try to get through such an emotional event!! He tells a great story and we definitely look forward to hearing more from this amazing artist as we continue on our Stromae Journey!!

This song is a tribute to sex workers from 3 different point of views in the form of a state funeral (not about his real mum who's still alive BTW and who's not a prostitute) :
*First POV is from the sex worker herself, saying how difficult the first time was and looking forward to the last time she'd have to sell her body.
*Second POV is from a sex trafficker, saying at least he feeds them and puts a roof over their heads! Why does everyone hate me? He's insulting them saying they're hookers who shouldn't aspire to be models!
*third POV is from the police, saying he's gotta do a job right? He's like please find a 'real' job, miss!
Finally, the chorus is always the son's POV saying leave my mom alone, she's a hero for everything she's been through. People dehuminize her but I'm a SoaB but I'm proud of her!
Check out "Quand c'est" and "Carmen" to me his best songs... Videos are defo worth watching!
Correction..first part is from the clients point of view
@@mirthepeeters65 you are absolutely right! My mistake.
@@saliwali no worries 👍
The first POV is from the costumer* of the sex worker
@@mirthepeeters65 should have read your answer before i answered! 😅
In French, ‘Fils de joie’ (literally ‘son of joy’) sounds like ‘filles de joie’ (literally ‘girls of pleasure’) which is slang for sexworkers.
I appreciate the French speakers out there helping out with all the linguistic contexts of Stromae’s work. Really adds to the experience a lot thank you
And it also plays on 'fils de put' which is a slurr, meaning 'son of a whore' (whereas english would say 'son of a bitch')
Ah bon, I was thinking it's comes from "fils de pute"(son of a hooker, which is an insult in French) or it's the combo of both 🤔
I, too, appreciate french speakers helping us out
I agree. Fil et fille . He is an artist.
Hes producing all of his own music, thats why his voice always fits perfectly
Stromae made this album thinking about things that we found in a lot of places around the world. Things like depression (L'enfer), workers (Santé) and Prostitution (this song right ere). And he mixes together a lot of different musical styles and instruments we can find around the world. So...here, he puts together classical well tempered clavier and violins with a funk beat...mixing "american" with "european" style... he also melts hip-hop (verse) with operatic (refrain) ... the verses are made of different points of view (client, pimp, police) ...and the refrain/chorus is the son. So...he contrasts the public vs the individual opinion of prostitution by contrasting popular vs erudite way of making music. Stromae is doing a hardcore craftwork here...
Thanks for the breakdown, his music is truly amazing ✌️🍻
@@BeersBars also like a lot your reactions ahhaha
This is Brazilian funk beat
@@Mrbigsnyp yes, I know. I am brazilian.
@@Mrbigsnyp With the addition of an extra 1/64th note. Also utilizes ancient Japanese instruments and an Ukrainian chorus on this album. Only Stromae can do this. Amazing!
He started as a rapper but writes his own music. He is now a superstar. Did Coachella, Jimmy Kimmel and more. He had a 7-year hiatus as his fame got to him. Married and had a kid. This is his comeback album. He also had a clothing and design company with his wife called MOSAERT. Stromae and Mosaert are anagrams of MAESTRO. As for the people, he's a customer, a police officer, the son and the pimp.
the MONSAERT clothes are as special as Stromae. My son bought a unisex parka, looks really funny. I am an art director and love the Stromae 3D font. It looks like Escher invented it. His music roots are definitly KRAFTWERK, which is the fundament of the Stromae House 🙂 In his "lessons" there is a hidden KRAFTWERK hommage in the intro. Title "Mensch Maschine / Man Machine"
Dunno if this helps any but there's actually four perspectives in this song! The chorus is the son of the woman in question, the first verse is a john, the second verse is her pimp, and the third verse is a policeman.
Don't forget the first second where he put the story of this video "In a fictional country, the State holds a funeral for a missing sex worker"
1:35 : in an interview he said that in this last album, he tried to put different kind of intrumental from different countries in a mix. The goal ?! We couldn't knew from where this intru were from. He's a genius. And the story of this song is so dope. "Fils de joie" (Son of joy) it's a wordplay of "Fille de joie" (Girl of joy) than mean in french "Prostitute". And here it's the tribute of a son about his mom who was a Prostitute so he's a "son of joy" ( Fils de joie). And the fisrt verse is about a Client , second verse the Mac , third Verse the Policeman and the Chorus between is the son of the prostitute. This song was out the "Day of the Women".
Here the "Behind the scene" for more info : ua-cam.com/video/e80eF804lNg/v-deo.html
His aim was to melt together all different styles so for you to recognize his efforts is absolutely great!
I love how you recognized Brussels there. Maybe Formidable could be next on the list. It was also shot in Brussels but a bit more special and with a special surprise cameo for the Belgian police.
I (Casey) used to live in brussels (back in 2010), beautiful city! 🍻✌
That video is awesome.
@@BeersBars But it is MOST definetly NOT the Belgian army doing the drill in this video, lmao, they went viral a few years ago for their most awfull drill abillities.
HAHA you've piqued our interest for sure 😅
It's filmed at the Jubelpark/Cinquantenaire, built for the 50th anniversary of Belgium by then King Leopold II, who'd become extremely wealthy by exploiting Congo. Stromae's father was Rwandan, a Belgian colony as well, so it's not just for it's looks that they chose this location!
It's call MAGICAL GENIUS . He does it all himself .
Stromae will be a representative artist for this period, his music is one of a kind and he reached audiences from all over the world (if you watch his videos you'll see so many comments in so many languages, I've never seen this for other artists)
P.S. Stromae is big in Europe, not only Belgium, I think the only place where he's not that well known is the US
I am in love with Stromae's eclectic style. He really is a visionary
One of my favorite Stromae songs is Ave Cesaria.
This guy makes me proud to be Belgian
Stromae tiene una voz perfecta puede adaptarse a cualquier tono ! No sé cómo no ha sido nominado a un Grammys !
He is the best artist out there now!!! And also the beat from this music is classic (Chinese violin, I think) mix with BRAZILIAN FUNK!!!!
Edit: The song tells a story about a prostitute, the chorus is from her son’s point of view and how he sees her (as a hero). And then, the first part is the client, the second is the pimp and the third part is the police!
Acredito que seja cravo...
Thanks for reacting to Stromae. All of his videos are amazing, I hope y'all continuing enjoying his work. My fav videos are Quand C'est, Carmen and Ta' Fete.
If you think the song itself is amazing, wait until you understand the production process of his music. It’s absolutely organic. His wife and brother helped him conceptualize this video. Her best friend did his hair for the video. They all work together. It’s so organic 🤩
yeah he grew up with his single mother who did her best to expose him to music from all over the world (where you get all the blended music and dance styles) and then went on to study music composition I do believe :)
I'm a year too late but Stromae started as a beatmaker during his first years :)
This about the two sides of being a hooker: The same people will both insult you for being one but still need you to escape loneliness. Stromae paints them as one of the most underrated heroes of all time
The monument, the country and the army shown there are all a bit fictionnal even if very inspired by Bruxelles. Great and emotionnal video where a "fille de joie = girl of joy" is celebrated by a nation for her funeral like a very great human being ! 💗
I like the line my mom is a hero. I will only speak of her pride. (Pass from cancer)
It's actually in Bruxelles, but a lot of post production to give this old Est vibe. Mixed with the costumes... desinged to be from all over the world but actually from nowhere.
Once again, the Genius has stroke!
Your comments are the best!!! Also appreciate the fact that you go back 1-2 seconds after commenting in order to get the music again. Good job!!
🙏🍻 Thank you, if you're new here we have a Stromae playlist you can check out.
@@BeersBars Yesss! I have already watched hahaha. Looking forward the next Stromae reacts. This guy is amazing.
Hello I'm Belgian, stromae starts by rappin before, he has always being so creative, he was one on my cousin's best friend when we were young, he is a beast really, we're all very creative but he is something else 😉
This beat is actually a very prominent feature of Brazilian "funk" music.
Soulful..I discovered this music last week while looking for music for my favorite Cesária Évora ..binged Stromae for a week.. he like Cesária are rare … Absolutely brilliant … So sorry I missed his NYC show ❤
There's an interview on UA-cam he did in english 8 years ago with Gilles Peterson where he explains his musical background. He trained in classical music and grew up on folk music and music his mom loved growing up. But he says it better.
It is his hair but like it's wrapped around a huge disc I think.
Not sure if it's somewhere in the comments but yes it's his hairs wrapped around some kind of construction. He mentioned this in one of his interviews.
You guys should watch his full concert which is on his page. You will be amazed for sure
As the grandson of a pimp and the other a pastor in the age of onlyfans... I learned don't judge, love people as they are, and they always find true love in themselves.
Stromae started as a solo rapper. Then he formed a hiphop duo with J.E.D.I. called Suspicion. Stromae still has some of their tracks on his UA-cam channel. I suggest you check out 'Faut qu't'arretes le rap' from that time if you want to see what he was like in his hiphop period/career.
He started as a duo with J.E.D.I, then became a solo rapper 🙃.
@@depassage5202 Started solo, then duo, then solo.
@@black4pienus
He discovered hip hop as a teenager with J.E.D.I., at school. They created Suspicion when they were only 18.
The Belgian singer Jacques Brel had a great influence on this singing. The style is balad / story telling with a lot of expression.
Edit- I mistakingly thought Jacques Brel was French
Jacques Brel actually Belgian as well
Well, as a French, we've to admit that Stromae and Jacques Brel are Belgian... Ok, the French speaking part of the country, but still :)
the beat is based in Baile funk from brazil
Stromae - Alors on danse… great song and vibe!
Its not mozart btw, its "Mosaert" an anagram of Stormae which in itself is an anagram of Maestro. There he goes again!
Forgive me 🙏🍻
The beat you mentioned in the beginning is very common in Brazilian funk (groove). Stromae himself said in an interview about the making of this song that he sampled this Brazilian rythm 🇧🇷🇧🇷
The first part is from the point of view of the worker herself, the second is the pimp, and the third is law enforcement. But the chorus is himself as the son.
I love him so much reativity.. he is so amazing
So emotional. Thank U
He started out with a keyboard 😄 he is fenomenaal. Check out Stromae and Jamal Dabous. He explains how he makes his music. Funny as hell
Been a fan of stromae since day one, his real name is Paul, he started off working as a producer at a radio station in brusels
Это шедевр свободы.
В какой еще стране позволили снять такой клип. Свобода
LOVE HIM SO MUCH
Rwandan blood ❤🇷🇼
Stromae started as a rapper. But he is highly influenced by some belgian singers that are very dramatic.
it is really interesting to watch non french speaking people dissecting his music! COOL !!
We started pre reading his lyrics so we can pay more attention to the video, if you are new here we have a playlist with 4 more from Stromae and we have more coming out soon ✌️🍻
In the verses he talks from the point of view of her pimp, her john, and the cop, and in the refrain he talks as her son.
Recommend his huge hit back in the day "Alors en dance"
That will be coming soon, make sure you have notifications on so you don't miss it ✌️🍻
On top of everything that’s already in the comments, I would just like to add a detail I haven’t yet seen: if I remember correctly Stromae said in one of his interviews that telling the sex worker’s story from all different points of view, except for the sex worker’s one, was on purpose to illustrate how society doesn’t give a voice to sex workers and doesn’t listen to them enough. Instead everyone judges them, and takes decisions (e.g.: laws) for them, instead of listening to them and their needs, and to actually fulfil their demands.
E.G.: I don’t know about Belgium, but I have heard that in France some years ago a law passed that doesn’t criminalise sex workers’ jobs, but criminalises the clients. The intention of this law was to “protect” the sex workers, but, first, it doesn’t make any sense, and, apart from this, there are two negative points to it. 1: Clients are discouraged, since it is now illegal, so sex workers have less work, earn less money and it becomes more difficult for them to survive; but most importantly, 2: the job becomes way more dangerous than it was before, because the clients that still come despite the law making it illegal for them are usually not the “nicest ones”, whereas, before, more respectful and thus safe clients would come and everything would go well. So this puts sex workers in great danger and, on top of this, since they earn less money, they don’t have the choice of refusing clients they consider unsafe, because they wouldn’t survive otherwise. The result has been an increase in hate crimes (violence and murders) committed against them. But society doesn’t care. Sex workers have demanded multiple times for the law to be changed, but from what I know nothing has changed yet, and this awful situation still remains the same. There are a few documentaries on this topic on UA-cam but they are in French unfortunately, and I don’t think they have English subtitles, but I might be wrong. Apart from this, excellent reaction video! I’m glad you liked the song and the video, which I really like as well. I also hope you were able to dig a bit more into the meaning.
Well, this is YOUR very personal point of view about prostitution and laws, it's not the point of the song.
In the song, Stromae denounces the hypocrisy of everybody for putting all the blame on the prostitute when she belongs to a system where they all play a role : the pimp, the client, the police officer (Eva Avila). He gives voice to her son, who stands for his mother with pride to say to the word how good of a mother she was, giving him good care and joy (Fils de Joie), despite facing so much violence.
Classical Pop is his specialty but he dives into genres like Baile a genre from Brazil which this song is in. He does a bit of everything actually
Came here after papaoutai ans L'enfer, great content love your reactions. I Really encourage to react to the Stromae Tiny Desk that came out some weeks ago. Or His performance of Santé at Jimmy Fallon's (I don't know if there subtitled in english tho)
This is in Jubelpark, Brussel.
Great video!:)
After his record Racine Carrée and all his live shows throughout the world, Stromae had a burn-out and thus his silence for a number of years. When he decided to make another record, he also made sure that he wasn't in the foreground dancing again. His title "L'Enfer" which you have reacted to, tells his story of a deep depression. Just a few infos. in case you hadn't known them.
And if I'm remembering correctly, his hiatus also related so physical health, he made some interviews talking about a vaccine shot that messed him up bad with it's adverse effects
@@kahrih
Actually he suffered with severe side effects due to an anti-malaria drug (Lariam) he took in May-June 2015 during his tour in Africa. The side effects are psychiatric and neurological disorders (sleep deprivation, panic attacks, hallucinations, mental confusion).
Stromae started as a rapper
He actually started as rapper, 'C'est Stromae', check it out.
It is his hair in the shape of a hat
This video was filmed in the Cinquantenaire park in Brussels. 🇧🇪 A beautiful place to go if you ever come to Belgium. 🙂
It is indeed beautiful, I Casey lived in Brussels for about a year back in 2009 it's where I started my beer class collection. ✌️🍻
@@BeersBars Nice! You're welcome back anytime 😉
Why is it Italian named?
@@junenye What do you mean?
@@florencevanovereem6648 the name "cinquantenaire" isn't it Italian?
It is indeed his hair 😉
You guys watch the breakdown video of this song he made on the rolling stone yt channel! He explains the beats and all of that! Amazing
He produces his own music
The beat is brazilian funk
Wretch 32 and Avelino- fire in the booth. Best one ever trust me please!
I think hé is talking about his country too on a ultimate stage..the politic of thé Belgic is uncredible et so so problématic ...and some of the persons who take the lead in the past, take the country like a Big shit realy ...( Excuses my english men 😅)
I felt he was singing about Africa
He studied classical to start
You should do a follow-up reaction after reading the comments and understanding the lyrics more in depth. Im interested to see how your perceptions change.
Interesting idea we will look into it ✌️🍻
He's a producer
🇬🇧 Pete & Bas - Sindhu Sesh 🔥 🔥 🔥 this would settle the discussion we had the other day about age and relevance
Added!!! Also wanted to let you know that we're planning on recording more non-US rappers (incl. British) going forward! We have somen the bank but after that there'll be more coming up than just once a week ✌
@@BeersBars appreciate you guys
stromae it's maestro in reverse
can i recommend,”jordan - fire in the booth”
Yes you can!! Added to the (lengthy) list!
If you didn't do Cancer yet, please do but it's the hard one.
Just have a look to red hats of some soldiers... just before sentences meaning: "all hookers but my mother"... Said by what we can call a .. dictator..
HEY! ITS A 2022 SONG!!!
This is BRASIL beat ❤
you could react to "cancer", a must
that is his hair
where is the second tim Westwood freestyle by juice wrld at ?😂🔥
Coming soon!
@@BeersBars big bet! love the vids by the way 🔥
@@BeersBars also righteous is a fire track. it was the first song they put out after his passing
He’s talking about three different pov’s of how people see sex workers. The first is her , the second verse is her “pimp” and the last is about a customer belittling her. The chorus is what her son thinks of her and how he was treated because his mother was a sex worker.
Nah bro he started as a rapper, and he was kinda REALLY GOOD
Si era su cabello xd
He is the best❤️Please react to « Tous les memes »
We already did, check it out. also we have a playlist for him on our channel ✌️🍻 ua-cam.com/video/zJD1mNi6i5Q/v-deo.html

I think you 2 will like RM's "wild flawer" and "still life ft.anderson paak" by RM again
I also recomend "Arson" and "More" by J-hope

And speaking of Belgian celebrities with Stromae, if you haven't already, drink a good dark beer made by the Trappist fathers, the 'Chimay' ;)
Your English is better than our French, we can assure you that 🍻 Love Chimay, and more Stromae incoming this weekend!!
@@BeersBars Thanks for my english ;) Cool for future Stromae reviews. I will subscribe to your channel and follow you.
This is filmed at Jubelpark - its my neighborhood where Im born and still live. Marlyn Manson has recorded his music video 'This Is The New Shit' their to watch it :ua-cam.com/video/4kQMDSw3Aqo/v-deo.html
Did you guys read the intro? I feel like you're just confused about the concept here 😂

Stromae is on another level, man. He’s a true artist. Also, here’s a link to a video of him talking about this song. He has one of these for every track on this album. ua-cam.com/video/cgL1YXw4ENI/v-deo.html
On another note, it looks like y’all mostly react to hip-hop, but if you ever want to check out some rock, I’d love to watch you react to this one! ua-cam.com/video/fTvJ1TYORJg/v-deo.html
fyi 2:26 ... regiments from ... ua-cam.com/video/e80eF804lNg/v-deo.html making-of Fils de joie (Behind The Scenes)
I was thinking. For non-French speaking watchers/reviewers etc..., indeed it can, at times, be annoying to read both the subs as watch the scene. If you're on a chromium based browser, there are certain extensions that can position the subs. UA-cam tweaks is such an extension. Probably there are addons for firefox as well. Just sayin'.
Thanks 👍
@@BeersBars I just noticed man. You're drinking Tremens! Brewery's about 15 minutes from my place. Gezondheid!
React to his video Sante

@@BeersBars watch ..."san" maybe in a first time...
first of all he is stromae not stromai. stro-ma-e, like Maestro you americans really have problems of pronunciation. and he is not a opera singer he is a rapper and you feel it because french sounds deep from the throat and especially because he is afro Belgian.
I don’t like that you have to stop every time you want to say something. Just let it keep going and talk over it
I swear guys you’re pausing too, too much the video
