Vaya Con Dios featuring Dani KLEIN at Palace Of The Republic

The pressures of fame are infamous, and the band soon broke up. Not long after, Dirk died tragically, and Dani had to pull herself together and make a decision. She decided to carry on with the name Vaya Con Dios as a solo artist, a tribute to the musicians who created the band and to those who wanted to help it continue.
It was clearly the right decision. Three more albums and two compilations later, Vaya Con Dios has sold more than 10 million albums and has fans across the world.

The pressures of fame are infamous, and the band soon broke up. Not long after, Dirk died tragically, and Dani had to pull herself together and make a decision. She decided to carry on with the name Vaya Con Dios as a solo artist, a tribute to the musicians who created the band and to those who wanted to help it continue.
It was clearly the right decision. Three more albums and two compilations later, Vaya Con Dios has sold more than 10 million albums and has fans across the world. The lyrics of Dani’s string of hits, including Puerto Rico, Heading for a Fall and Don’t Break My Heart are deeply felt and poetical, lamenting broken relationships and stubborn denials.

Comme on est venu... continues the tradition. Calling on her love of great French-language songwriters, such as Jacques Brel, Georges Brassens and Barbara, Dani sings metaphorically of love as a shipwreck, of the simple beauty that assuages grief and, in the title song, of life and death and the pettiness that comes in between.
“I’m going back to my roots a little bit,” says Dani, who grew up listening to French singers on the radio. “It’s like I’m going back to my very first influences.”
As a teenager, however, dancing to the sound of Otis Redding and Aretha Franklin in Brussels nightclubs, Dani became addicted to soul music. “Rhythm & Blues is really about warm voices and groovy rhythms, where with French songs, the lyrics are what’s really important,” she says. She has tried to marry the two ever since, and Comme on est venu... is a perfect combination of those two musical styles.
