Barbara Pravi - Dalida Diva Tzigane

Barbara Pravi leads her band in Dalida Diva Tzigane, a free tribute to the queen mother Dalida. On October 11, 2026 at L’Usine in Istres, she revisits the classics in a Balkan, Franco‑Italian‑gypsy version, carried by soaring violins, supple rhythms and a collective energy. Nothing is fixed here: they go with whatever comes, make mistakes, start again, laugh and pick up the pace. Choruses are caught in mid‑air and sung together like a living karaoke, without losing the tenderness or the integrity of the repertoire.

Originally conceived as a brief interlude between their tours, this project has become a regular breath, a space where Barbara Pravi allows herself the spontaneity and intoxication of Eastern European music. About 1 hour and 10 minutes of familiar songs reimagined, stripped‑down arrangements, jolting accelerations, heart‑tightening slowdowns, and a way of sparking the dance without overdoing it. Dalida’s strength remains intact, while Barbara slips in her voice and storytelling, for a concert that makes you smile, move and tell a story all at once. See you in Istres for this Balkanized journey through the repertoire, between fervor and freedom.
