The freshness of her 21 spring, her pastel short skirt on a plastic tanagra, a real bliss. Her innate annexation, if I may be so bold this antinomy, plans of oldies R & B has something to be confused about. Her ultra-powerful voice, endowed with supernatural treble, allows her to master the idiom of the music she lives intensely. She has everything in great.
Her, so frail, overturns everything on her path. But are we still surprised that Céline Bonacina plays baritone sax, a biniou bigger than her? The directory is like “bloody meat” and is powered by a combo of fire (trumpet, sax, guitar, organ, bass, drums, again names were missing from the classy booklet).
I can still see her kneeling microphone planted in the pavilion saxophonist, forgiveness in the pavilion of the sax ….
The public madness made her a triumph. Fire !

Two bulldozers of the Great Black Music in the same evening, I was puzzled. But the Tunisian public is so “open” and educated I was worried for nothing.
Sandra is a real fighter and the words Freedom and Riot are high on her texts. The melodies will hold your whole bieng and make wonder arrangements of riffs by the magic of the flute ( “ferry”) Ji Dru.
Almost all the songs are anthology pieces, Same Reality, Show me the Way, Like a Buffalo, Mankind, No More Trouble ……… ..
The voice of the Cameroonian origin is serious, dark, very warm color and coppery. She has an almost demonic control.
She also has a high professional quality of the scene, which makes most of loving dialogue with her audience than that of gringo showbiz ‘.
But above all, she looked so happy. As a bis, she was really amused to have fun with us. An intro made me think she was going to sing God Bless the Child in her own version, which I find extraordinary and that is anything but a clone of the original Billie Holiday (Ruez you on YouTube!), But las … .. oualou.
Anecdotally, I was laughing when she started with a small Ji Dru parody choreography, gymnastics kind, certainly pointed to execute. Ji Dru makes me think of a Elvis Costello who have taken classes with Maurice Béjart and Michael Jackson combined! A great humorist gesture. Madam, I am privileged to have met you.
