It had started very badly. Aya Nakamura had missed her train in Paris heading to Switzerland, according to confirmation from several sources. After arriving in Geneva, the singer was escorted by the police from the City of Calvin to the Paléo to perform her concert at 9:45 p.m. on Saturday July 22. Show which finally started ten minutes late. We don’t hold it once morest him. On the contrary: by discovering the scenic means present, we are enthusiastic. Musicians, choristers, dancers… Was a new Aya Nakamura, who got us used to singing live to a soundtrack, going to reveal herself? Unfortunately not.

During the first ten minutes of the show, the singer connects titles that are very similar, including the hit “40%”. So far, she really gives 40%. The Franco-Malian artist does not improve her case by shouting: “Hello Geneva!” and gets boos.

What does it matter for the front rows who sing along to “Girlfriends”, his 2018 hit. At this precise moment, we realize the divide between two audiences. The youngest sing while dancing to “Sucette” or “Joli Nana”, but the rest of the Asse does not get along. In addition, the singer remains static. And that’s what we blame his performance for. Despite a few smiles and lascivious dances in her shorts revealing the beginning of her buttocks, Aya Nakamura clearly lacks charisma on the Main Stage of the Paléo.

She heats the Paleo too late

Everything seems forgotten when she performs “Djadja”, a title that ranked number one in several countries around the world and even made Rihanna dance four years ago. In short, a must for the queen of the evening. “We’re going to start heating up the Paleo,” she says before waddling to the track. But for some of the public, it is already too late.

Aya Nakamura misses her chance to create the event in Nyon, even if the musicians give a zouk and interesting dimension to her songs calibrated for the radios. By linking the music in a mechanical way, without any interaction or almost, it was not at its maximum. Let’s hope that she will be for her return to French-speaking Switzerland in Lausanne-Prilly next October. Otherwise, there’s no way.
