Elisapie in concert at Les Trois Baudets in Paris in November 2023

Elisapie takes us on a fabulous musical journey. The Canadian artist, born in Salluit, Nunavik, has announced a series of concerts in France this autumn. In addition to stops in Saint-Malo, Brest and Nantes, Elisapie also plans to enchant her Parisian fans with a unique show scheduled for Wednesday, November 15, 2023 at Les Trois Baudets.

On the program? An immersion in the Canadian Far North, thanks to the sublime covers reinterpreted and sung by Elisapie in Inuktitut (her mother tongue) and taken from her latest opus. Released on September 15, 2023, the"Inuktitut" album unveils no fewer than 10 tracks, all considered rock and pop classics from the 60s to the 90s. These include Queen's " I Want to Break Free ", renamed " Qimatsilunga ", Blondie's " Heart of Glass ", giving rise to " Uummati Attanarsimat ", Pink Floyd's legendary " Wish You Were Here ", here entitled " Qaisimalaurittuq ", and Patrick Hernandez's astonishing " Born to Be Alive " (" Inuuniaravit ").

And what about the incredible cover of Metallica's " The Unforgiven ", renamed " Isumagijunnaitaungituq "? A powerful, touching track, offered here in a pared-down version (banjo, percussion, qilaut...), where we're happy to listen to Katajjaq, the famous Inuit throat singing. In a post published on her social networks on June 27, Elisapie revealed that she had interviewed Metallica guitarist Kirk Hammett when she was just 15 and working for TNI, the first Inuit television and radio company.

It was a defining moment for the young girl, who was listening to " The Unforgiven " with her friends at the time, " trying to forget the heaviness, as if this song told the story of Inuit men and the repression they suffered ".
