Zazí

新晋荷兰民谣组合

Zazí's repertoire consists of songs from all over the world in many different languages, which are often performed in close harmony. The girls were first brought together in Paris by a mutual acquaintance in early spring of 2006. The chemistry was immediately obvious and over the course of many drinks in not nearly as many hours, the first Zazí arrangement was brought to life on the steps of the Sacre Coeur. The normal complications of life kept them apart until September of 2007, when the girls were brought together again.

Upon their reunion, the girls began to regularly play music together. Though having a love of many genres of music, the girls decided that their instruments: cello, piano and accordion, would be a perfect combination for the French chanson. They entered into the Concours de la Chanson 2009 and took home first prize!

After their victory they decided to continue their music and began composing songs of their own and having fun with any piece that struck a chord. They started playing throughout the theatres of Amsterdam and all over the Netherlands, including several shows for the Queen of the Netherlands! Their combination of instruments (cello, piano and accordion) seemed appropriate for them to implement the French chanson. They wrote under the name "La Gaîté" (the joy) for the Concours de la Chanson Alliance Française in 2009 and won the first prize. The jury (eg Liesbeth List, Tonny Eyk, and the famous French singer Yves Duteil) described the trio as "fresh, fun, humorous and also great musicians."
