Sam Sauvage, the male breakthrough artist at the 2026 Victoires de la Musique, played to a packed house at La Cigale for an exceptional concert. The artist, with his deep voice and dandyish look, invites us to rediscover French chanson with raw sincerity and a unique aesthetic. His songs, influenced by Bashung’s 80s rock legacy, the offbeat New Wave of the Talking Heads and the raw poetry of Stromae, oscillate between introspective depth, quirky irony and irresistible melodies.
