I'm pleased to - finally! :-) - share with you some pictures and videos of the concert given at La Cigale in Paris on the 26th of March...

You will not be surprised to know that I attended to this show and that, as always, I could write a book about this concert. :)

Yes, there would be indeed a lot to say, but what will remain in my memory is, of course, the incredible energy of Okean Elzy's band member s on stage. Svyatoslav Vakarchuk was going wild... and the crowd was too! :)

The concert was sold out... and I noticed that there was more French people in the audience than as usual. This is a very positive thing because I believe that Vakarchuk's music can easily cross borders and make this world smaller... :)

This concert made me feel good for a lot of reasons... Mainly because it gave sense to a lot of things I'm doing now for years regarding Okean Elzy. It showed me that I am on the right path, that what I am doing matters... It is priceless and an opportunity which is not given to many people. Life is not all roses, but it's as a gift of great fortune (or God!) to experience all of this!

Yes, the most moving, joyful and intense moment was when Svyatoslav sang with one of his biggest fan in France, Mané, a little girl which is very sick and who finds comfort in listening to Okean Elzy music... I've already said a few words about her in another post - you probably remember that Mané's mother, Marina, met Svaytoslav in Yerevan last year...
Mané's biggest dream was to sing with Svyatoslav... I have to say that I played a key role in making this dream come true. So, when I heard her singing the words that I translated into French of this beautiful song "Обійми", I cried all the tears I had. :) It was so moving!
Thank you so much, Svyatoslav! I'm so happy to see that are still noble-minded people who speak from their heart... We didn't have time to talk about that when we met in Paris - there are still so many things that I'd like to tell you! :) - but I'm sure the time will come, sooner or later.
Ah! I realize that I have to to answer to the question that everyone is asking me since so many days: "So, Alexa, did you finally meet Svyatoslav?" The answer is "Yes!" but I will tell more about it later... :))
