00:00 Fanny Ardant, Bette Gibon, Portichide, or her daughters Lou Doyon and Charlotte Gainsbourg,

00:05 a tribute concert brought together twenty artists on Saturday at the Olympia in Paris

00:08 to say goodbye to Jane Birkin, who disappeared in the summer of 2023 at 76 years old.

00:13 This show "Jane Birkin by Friends", played at the profit of the "Restos du Chœur",

00:18 is based on an elegant casting composed of friends, intimates, artists with whom she collaborated or loved,

00:24 described for the musical director Jean-Louis Pierrot.

00:28 This musician with multiple talents had, in tandem with his accomplice Etienne Dao,

00:32 tailor-made the last album, "Oh! Pardon tu dormais", 2020, of the favorite English of the French.

00:40 It is the concert created to defend this record on stage that also includes classics

00:45 like the two Sous-Chics, for example which is resumed at the Olympia.

00:48 About twenty titles and as many performers, including, in addition to those already mentioned,

00:53 Dominika, Carla Bruni, Jarvis Cocker, Marion Cotillard, Thomas Dutronc, Arthur H,

00:59 Keren Han, Sandrine Kiberlin, M, Abedé Almalik, Mickey 3D, Miosec, Vanessa Paradis,

01:06 Edi de Pretto and Catherine Ringer.

01:08 Different health problems had contradicted the tour of Jane Birkin, who, every time she was better,

01:14 had asked her historical manager Olivier Glusman to find her a new date for the Olympia.

01:19 She absolutely insisted and, after her funeral, we told Olivier and Etienne that we were going to do at the Olympia,

01:24 rigorously, the concert that we had to do there with Jane, continues Jean-Louis Pierrot.

01:29 We appreciate.

01:31 Unlike the usual tributes, the invited artists will have to slip into Jane's footsteps on stage,

01:36 for a show made with the same musicians and the same arrangements as was planned for her.

01:41 We, these musicians, we all appreciate a lot.

01:45 Emotionally, moments may be difficult but this concert will allow us to make Jane's musical mourning,

01:50 concludes Jean-Louis Pierrot.

01:52 Dominika had written for Jane Birkin the song "Where is the City?" on the album Fiction (2006)

01:58 where we also found the Englishman Bette Gibbon, voice of Portichid, behind the title "My Secret".

02:04 He will sing at the Olympia one of the titles "Poignant de haut".

02:07 "Pardon tu dormais".

02:09 In which Jane Birkin addressed the death of her daughter Kate,

02:12 "Ces murs épais, moi dehors, toi dessous, cris muets, muets.

02:16 Plus haut.

02:18 Pardon tu dormais, plus, c'est un peu un portrait de famille, un album cathartique",

02:22 sums up Dominika, seduit par le chant de Jane Birkin,

02:26 who became more and more inhabited over the years.

02:29 Jane had this ability to transmit an emotion, of the experience.

02:33 "On sent la vie qui passe dans sa voix", underlines the singer again.

02:37 Plus haut.

02:38 Pardon tu dormais, plus, c'est tellement personnel ce disque",

02:42 entrusted Jane Birkin to the AFP at the time of her release.

02:45 "Comme disait Serge Gainsbourg, quand c'est plus banal bleu plus,

02:49 tout est lisse, sublime, on n'est pas tenté d'écrire.

02:53 Quand il y a séparation, blessure, là on voit des nuages à la William Turner qui arrive",

02:58 added she.

02:59 Quoting one of the men of her life and an English impressionist,

03:02 "Chez qui, l'un comme l'autre, la lumière côtoyait une part d'ombre".
