Why this recording

The two nights of 28 and 29 September 2019 at the Philharmonie opened the tour on which Catherine Ringer revisited the Rita Mitsouko repertoire for the first time, twelve years after Fred Chichin's death. ARTE Concert's 1 h 41 HD film shows her with six musicians, according to the description. The broadcaster has followed her for a long time: it had already filmed Plaza Francia, her trio with two members of Gotan Project, at ARTE Studio. The same concert was also released on CD and DVD.

Filmed live at the Philharmonie de Paris in September 2019, this full concert sees Catherine Ringer revisit the flamboyant repertoire of Les Rita Mitsouko, the French rock duo she formed with Fred Chichin from 1979 until his death in 2007. On the great Parisian stage, the singer unleashes the theatrical energy and charisma that turned « Marcia Baïla », « Andy » and « C’est comme ça » into staples of French popular music. Backed by a full band, she blends rock nerve, brass and the colourful arrangements that defined the duo’s world, in a vivid, generous staging. This ARTE Concert capture conveys the power of a cult performer, between tribute and reinvention. A must-see live concert to rediscover, in 2019, the legacy of Les Rita Mitsouko carried by Catherine Ringer’s unmistakable voice, filmed in remarkable sound and picture at the Philharmonie de Paris.
