My first contact with the Belgian musician’s work was in Switzerland: Stromae is big among the French speaking community.
His beautiful, and yet sad lyrics contrast with the energised rhythm of his songs and the cool dances that go along with them. At this week’s show at Audio Clube, the audience yelled, jumped and dances to the sound of breakups, though professional lives and family dramas.
If you haven’t met him yet, here’s a taste of the guy’s work.
