“I am very happy to be here, to look with interest at what tomorrow’s concert will be like. I am very surprised to see so many cameras,” said the famous pop singer. To the observation that Aznavour played a big role in her life, the singer answered that she still remembers Aznavour’s advice, one of which was learning English, which she did not manage to do.
“I am very excited to be in Armenia because this is Charles’s homeland, so I feel very responsible and obliged. The last time I was here, it was with the Francophonie. I was very excited when I left. It was very inspiring and touching for me how he talked about me. Of course, there are many artists who present French music, but I think there is something in my voice that reminds me of old French songs, which combined with the new give a great result,” said ZAZ.

To the question about what her expectations are from the concert, the French singer responded like this. “My goal is to share music with the audience and musicians, to have a big holiday. At the end of the concert, I want the audience to feel that they are full of energy.” She said that she had many concerts. It is difficult to say which of them was her dream concert. “I have other dreams. I would like to discover many countries, for example, in Africa.” Answering another question, ZAZ recalled how at the beginning of her career, she sang in a cabaret bar in Paris and at some point left it because she did not have enough money.

She said that money is not so important in a person’s life. “It’s more important for me to be calm and surrounded by my friends. But money is so important that money is used to create projects.” ZAZ added that being famous cuts her off from freedom, but she enjoys doing what she loves. She also spoke about Paris, likening the city to a colorful rainbow. As for Yerevan, she said, “I did not see much in Yerevan. During the Francophonie I felt that people here are full of love. In general, I like the Armenian duduk very much. I listen to the melodies on Levon Minasyan’s disc, mainly the song “Yeraz”. When I get tired, I turn on that song and it fills me with energy.”
