Enrico Macias is returning to Romania this year to celebrate 50 years of his career with an extraordinary concert to be held at the Palace Hall on March 9, 2012, starting from 8 pm, according to Project Events.

During his five-decade career, Macias enchanted and brought joy to millions of people. His songs moved across the barrier of time and fans of all ages have listened to them.

Macias was born as Gaston Ghrenassia, in a Jewish musician family, on December 11, 1938, in the French town of Constantine, in the French Algeria, where he lived until 1961, when his father was assassinated during the independence war. He began his carrier as a teacher but never abandoned his childhood hobby: the guitar, He moved to Paris, where his music career began to take shape.

He made his first recording in 1962 after a meeting with Raymond Bernard of Pathé. The result was the recording of "Adieu mon pays" which he had composed for his beloved Algeria on the boat on his way to France. He appeared on French television and became an overnight sensation. This led to a first tour in 1963 as a second act with Paola and Billy Bridge. His daughter, Jocya, was also born that year.

His American debut, at a sold-out Carnegie Hall, took place on 17 February 1968. He continued to tour the United States, singing in Chicago, Dallas and Los Angeles. In Canada and Quebec, he was warmly welcomed as a francophone artist.

Since then, Macias has toured the world several times and has sold millions of records.

For the March 9 show, Macias has prepared several surprises for his fans and is promising a hot show, with many songs that were not included in last year’s concert playlist, but also with songs such as “La Femme De Mon Ami” or “Zingarella”.

Enrico Macias celebreaza 50 de ani de cariera in Romania! Artistul va concerta in martie la Sala Palatului

Enrico Macias revine anul acesta in Romania pentru a celebra implinirea a 50 de ani de cariera printr-un concert extraordinar ce va avea loc pe scena Salii Palatului pe 9 martie 2012, de la ora 20.00, informeaza Project Events.!

 In cele cinci decenii de cariera, Enrico Macias a incantat si bucurat milioane de oameni. Melodiile de pe discurile sale au depasit bariera timpului, iar fanii de orice varsta le-au cumparat si ascultat, traind la fel de intens mesajele transmise de artist, poate chiar mai puternic ca in ziua lansarii lor.

Gaston Ghrenassia, cunoscut lumii intregi ca Enrico Macias, s-a nascut intr-o familie de evrei muzicieni pe data de 11 decembrie 1938 in orasul Constantine din Algeria Franceza, unde a trait pana in 1961, cand in timpul razboiului de independenta tatal sau a fost asasinat. Si-a inceput cariera ca profesor, dar nu a abandonat niciodata pasiunea sa descoperita in copilarie: chitara. Se muta in Paris, locul in care incepe sa se contureze cariera sa muzicala.

Primul sau album ’’Adieu mon pays’’ il inregistreaza in 1962, iar aparitia sa in acelasi an la televiziune franceza il transforma intr-un star.  Se bucura de un imens succes in multe din tarile europene, iar in 1968 isi face debutul in America unde spectacolul din celebra sala ’’Carnegie Hall’’ este sold out.

Admiratia intregului mapamond o castiga interpretandu-si melodiile in multe limbi: franceza, greaca, italiana, turca, spaniola, engleza, ebraica, dar si in multe dialecte. A obtinut admiratia oamenilor de toate continentele, insa mai putin admiratia poporului sau. Din pacate dorinta sa de a se intoarce si concerta in tara natala Algeria, nu i s-a indeplinit. Incercarea sa de a concerta in cadrul unui turneu in Algeria in 2000 a stranit multe controverse. Dupa anularea acestui turneu, Enrico Macias a scris o carte ’’Mon Algerie’’, promovata ca ’’un adevarat cantec de dragoste dintre un barbat si pamantul sau natal’’.

Din dorinta de a-si revedea tara natala, Enrico Macias incearca in 2007 sa il insoteasca pe presedintele francez Nicolas Sarkozy intr-o vizita oficiala in Algeria, dar din pacate se loveste din nou de opunerea vehementa a multor organizatii, dar si a primului-ministru algerian, din cauza suportului acordat si declarat de catre artist Israelului.

Pentru concertul din 9 martie, Enrico Macias a pregatit multe surprize placute fanilor din Romania si promite un show incendiar, cu multe melodii ce nu s-au regasit in playlistul concertului de anul trecut dar si melodii precum „La Femme De Mon Ami” sau „Zingarella”.
