Marc Lavoine, a personality “not from the inner circle” and far from the “small Parisian environment”? This is what the singer says and how he explains his repeated absence at the Victoires de la Musique.
These are two legends of French song who have joined forces to create a new title: Marc Lavoine and Marc Cerrone, an essential figure in electronic music, released this September 22 Lovebox, their joint song which combines the knowledge of French song of one and that of house of the other. The duo is the subject of an interview this October 1 in The JDD. During this interview, they talked about a new advent of disco, they returned to the genesis of their collaboration but they also talked about what they thought of a society “which has never been so pornographic”. Finally, both of them, who today operate in a privileged environment, spoke of their origins “suburban” and personality that is not “not from the seraglio”. If Marc Cerrone started by explaining: “As the son of an Italian immigrant shoemaker, I looked for a way out: it was music.”
Marc Lavoine uncomfortable in the “small Parisian environment”
Marc Lavoine, although sworn for two years of The Voicea program widely recognized in the industry, had a slightly different speech by admitting: “Related to small Parisian environment, I feel like a Portuguese. This is the reason why I don’t go to the Victoires de la Musique. I even asked to be removed from the lists. A small group of people who vote among themselves, in their own corner, that doesn’t interest me.”, he declared cash, he who had already surprised by declaring that this ceremony had no interest in his eyes. And the singer continues by suggesting that he doesn’t necessarily like how things are going: “I stayed close to my suburb, where women exert a positive influence, through their commitments. She is a reason to hope.”

Artist and not people
Before that, Marc Lavoine, who, before the summer, had caused the discontent of some of his fans after a shortened concert, had made a point of making the distinction between people and artist. “I’m not a celebrity, he assured. I work twenty hours a day, I write, I’m on stage, I’m in the theater; celebrities are people who don’t burn anything. It is true that the system imposes a minimum media presence. But be careful with social networks: these things are pharmacies! We beat the shit out of you for three weeks and then we move on to someone else. The important thing is not to dwell on it. Stick to work, try to be inspiring to people.”
