On the intimate stage of the Grand Studio RTL2, Raphaël performed a concert of rare closeness, before the astonished eyes of a hand-picked audience. Surrounded by his faithful musicians, the artist navigated between tracks from his latest album Une autre vie and his classics, delivering over an hour of emotionally-charged, heartfelt performance.

It was a luminous Raphaël , smoked glasses on his nose and shirt in the station's colors, who embarked on the adventure of this "Très Très Privé" concert. From the outset, the atmosphere was tinged with a palpable complicity, especially evident in the exchange of glances between the singer and his son, Alyosha, present in the room. The presence of the young boy, singing every word with fervor, not only delighted his father, but also added a layer of intimacy to the event.

The artist, opening up with humor and self-sacrifice about his life and the anguish of performing in such intimate settings, reminded his audience of the importance of these moments of sharing. His recollections of childhood fairs, where he imitated David Bowie while his parents were kept at a distance, punctuated these gentle confidences with a light touch.

Raphaël also surprised his audience by reinterpreting some of the highlights of his discography, such as Caravane and 150 ans, in a totally new way, paying tribute to Alain Bashung with Les salines, and covering Zaz's hit Ébloui par la nuit in his own style. A very personal version that, according to the artist, nobody appreciates.

Raphaël's Concert Très Privé was a real treat for audiences looking to rediscover the artist in a more personal and intimate light. Both the setlist and the atmosphere he created made this event an invitation to the heart of his musical universe. Those in search of a rock concert with more dynamic exchanges with the audience might have found this performance singularly different, but the sincerity and closeness offered here make it a unique experience.

Raphaël 's appearance at the Grand Studio RTL2 will be remembered as a moment of musical complicity, where the artist, beyond his varied setlist and touching anecdotes, was able to create an indelible bond with his audience.
