L'Impératrice at the Grand Palais, Paris - Passengers - ARTE Concert

#TAKOTSUBO #LIMPERATRICE
[AVAILABLE UNTIL 26/03/2026]
Passengers a toujours eu le chic pour dénicher des lieux incroyables. Pour ce nouveau numéro, la barre est mise encore très haut : c’est sous la nef du Grand Palais que nous recevons @limperatrice_. Charles de Boisseguin, Flore Benguigui et leurs acolytes y déploient une session de toute beauté associant leurs tubes à des nouveautés extraites de leur nouvel album : Tako Tsubo.
Mélopées rêveuses, orchestration éthérée et vibrations retro : L'Impératrice invite à l'indolence et à une insouciance généralisées. Ses arguments ? Une douce voix féminine et des sonorités vintage à souhait qui ravivent l'âge d'or de la French Touch, Daft Punk et Air en tête. Entre funk, space disco, revival 90's et influences tiki, la musique de L'Impératrice sonne familière tout en étant d'une grande fraîcheur.Après le succès de l’album Matahari (2018), L’Impératrice se rappelle à notre bon souvenir avec un tout nouvel album baptisé Tako Tsubo. Introduit par de nombreux singles - dont le très remarqué « La Peur des filles » - ce deuxième opus permet au groupe de montrer un visage plus éclectique mais toujours aussi dansant. Le changement dans la continuité en somme.
En plus de la musique de L’Impératrice, ce Passengers permet de se pâmer devant la beauté de la nef du Grand Palais. Ce bijou de la Belle Epoque amorçant tout juste une mue devant durer plusieurs années, ce serait bête de s’en priver.
Concert enregistré le 24 février 2021 au Grand Palais, Paris.

I recommand you Khruangbin if you don't know them already

[@waynedexter]

I don’t know. I’m taking slight offense with the use of the word “some”. It kinda insinuates that most music made today is crap and that this band is the exception to the rule. If you’re judging today’s music quality by billboards charts and corporate radio then yes, music sucks. But there’s such a wealth of good music outside of that paradigm that sometimes I get overwhelmed, and it doesn’t take much effort to find because it’s all at your fingertips.

[@skulptor]

@@waynedexter youre welcome to take offense. This band is better than most.

[@waynedexter]

@@skulptor I doubt you’ve heard most so stop being hyperbolic. That’s the problem with MOST folks these day, mainly Americans, they can’t give a compliment without being over the top with it.

Daft Punk + Jamiroquai ;) .... this is so good and groovy, it's like getting high on pot without actually smoking it. he-he
At 46:30 the song Vacances kind of gives the vibe of Get Lucky by Daft Punk ft. Pharrell Williams, Nile Rodgers doesn't it? ;)

I don't understand how good this is. Music isn't supposed to be this good.

[@steliosmouratidis3829]

It is amazing how neatly they combine disco rhythms and melancholy atmosphere

[@user-uu5jf3jo3o]

You are so right, for « melancholy ». Though I like their music, I would like to see less melancholy and more fucking joy, happiness and blunt energy in French music. I can’t stand this melancholy anymore, as it is an energy that keeps you in the past. We more than ever need to live « ici et maintenant », tear up the void, carpe diem, and apocalypse: now!

[@honeybabou6119]

@@user-uu5jf3jo3o I think you should send an email to the band to tell them. Then they can change the music they create in the future to better fit your needs and demands. Or more effective: write directly to the French Ministry of Culture, they can relay your advice directly to every French musician.

[@alejandrapardo564]

In French youll rarely see a happy ending in movies and melancholy comes because theyre aware that life its not sugar coated so they make it real
I assume its kinda same for music and to be honest i like that melancholy vibes cause takes me throw back memories of happy or sad times
and that makes me joy the fact of how lucky im to be alive and experience all that at once

La musique est vraiment belle, et puis le Grand Palais sublime monument

[@valentinbalbinot5054]

Tout est parfait: les costumes sont juste géniaux, entre uniforme chic retro il y a une vibe retro futuriste de séries des années 50.
L'album en soit est juste génial, c'est groovy, funky (bigup au bassiste), et surtout cette voix crystaline de Flore qui ajoute une telle hauteur au truc. Mais ce que je kiffe par dessus tout c'est la sinergie entre les membres du groupe, on sent tellement qu'ils kiffent ce qu'ils font, particulièrement pendant les petits jams funks, c'est tellement kiffant à voir !!!
