Good evening to all of you,

A big thanck you to our wonderful public who came listening us at the Sainte-Famille's church yesterday.

A big thanck you to the priest and his lovely assistant. 

A big thank you of course to the Mayor and Marina for invited us.

The emotion was tangible and the visitors' book filled with beautiful sentences, beautiful ideas, thank you for having shared with so much of entousiasme this musical moment.

As a present, here is a little peace moment : And so ti goes

Just once will not hurt here is a bill of a real writer and also TerreHappyste Philippe K.:

Who said that the Morvan is a distant place of Bourgorgne, , with backward and decadent customs?

The weekend of 24 and 25th October, our choir Terre Happy d'groupe organised its first  training of singing there. Program : two concerts, one clip on Happy (by Pharrell Williams), three rehearsals, deux semi-finals of the World-Cup, seven commun meals in the Dauthieux's barn (but how are they doing this?)  and after parties, my friends!

If thirty seconds of laughts by day is extended life expectancy, one weekend in the Morvan will make us all centenarians! All this surrounded by beautiful landscpes...
Our two concerts were a success (the proof is that even voiceless it is possible to sing Amsterdam). In spite of a global advertising, Luzy's concert did not bring to much lads, but our lovely public  made vibrate the air.

The next day, in Onlay's church, big success! It was a while since we have seen so many people at mass! The priest was presided dressed in black, with gestures accompanied with energy, arms up to the sky to exhort her herd to sing highter (but not hardly!), someting tiping her thighs before starting Thula Baba.

At the end, to finish, thank you to our incomparable hosts! Now we know: in Morvan, Habemus papam… y mamam.

Hello tour prepares and surprises

First we have been contacted by radio Morvan and they interviewed Lola and I. Tu purpose was to make a little advertising on the air for our 2 dates. I will put you the audio file as soon as I receive it.

The Tour is preparing with a nice new song to start the year, "down to the shore" for connoisseurs is the famous soundtrack O'Brother.

The girls even prepare you a little surprise, I will not say more you will discover here soon.

This weekend will not be any rest for the herd because the program is loaded; musical rehearsal ++, concerts and 2 (thank you Steph) our filmmaker prepares you a nice surprise oooooooooonnneeeeeeeeee clip .... !!. For all admit the choice of song was difficult, after much negotiation and discussion here in TerreHappyste hard and strong, dry Lola finally decided, will be Happy. Well there are some who say that Pharrell Williams is not our style, there is at least the title that made by Earth Happy Happy concensus here seems source. So Happystes of Earth dropped in the Morvan, in the country and rotate a clip here will do the heavy ... if not frozen.

The concert will surely be nice in Luzy side atmosphere, the public will be invited to dance after our performance with two bright young accordionists who will play Morvan trad repertoire, it's going dry boogie. (= dance boogie). The next day at Onlay, we must expect a beautiful musicality. In fact the church has a beautiful warm sound and this little church that regularly turns into a concert hall will amaze you. Leases recordings perpestive.

Soon with good news has you discover.

A pretty clumsy and modest tribute to Lola!

To you dear Lola..

We are a little bit an atypical groupe, mostly a group of friends united by the wish to share songs with strangers (and sometimes friends). The energy and the good mood which get free of our training is the fact of multiple factors.

In the video "interview des choristes de Terre Happy D'Groupe", I tried to show you the beautiful people who take part of this choir, to define them they are humble people, they like to sing, to have fun, to make parties, to laugh and to share all of it with people.

But what would be this motivated herd and full of good intentions without a shepherd to organize a little that happy "mess".
Lola, because she is not a professional choir mistress, because she is fromm the herd too and came out with simplicity, energy and passion, because only her can be so patient with us, she brings us slowly but surely to take confindence in us, to believe in what we do. She is able to bring us far away, to dare new challenges.. and it is working.

This series of videos that I join you to discover on her page, it is first of all in homage to her tenacity, her courage and her perseverance. It is also for me the occasion to show all her talent, her work, her incridible way to guide us, miming the words, giving the departures, making us work sessions after sessions the nuances, the subtleties of every pieces. She allows us to put an intention in every song, to embody characters, to give meaning to the music. She realizes a painstaking job, preparing for every group a recording of voice.  I remind you that most of us are not reading music. Thanks to this series of videos, you can the time of a song, to be at our place and test this pleasur to sing.. .. let's sing friends.. ..just sing.. ..it will make you feel better, it is a great therapy of groupe..

Thank you Lola!
