YEREVAN, MARCH 6, ARMENPRESS. Within the framework of the Francophonie month in Armenia prominent French singer Hélène Ségara will give a gala concert in Yerevan on March 19. The concert, which is scheduled to take place in “Aram Khachaturyan” Concert Hall, will be held under the high auspices of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs of the Republic of Armenia in association with the Ministry of Culture of the Republic of Armenia and the Embassy of France to Armenia.

In a conversation with "Armenpress" the Manager of the Public Relations Department of Yerevan Brandy Factory Zaruhi Saribekyan stated: "Presently we are engaged in clarifying the program of the singer’s stay in Armenia." Yerevan Brandy Factory is the exclusive sponsor of the upcoming concert.

Hélène Ségara was born on 26 February 1971 in Six-Fours-les-Plages in her grandfather's farm. Her father is of Italian descent and mother is Armenian. Then she had many successive jobs including performances in the piano bars of the French Riviera. At 18, she gave birth to Raphael, her first son. Her repertoire was expanding, with many musical influences and over a thousand songs. In 1993, a first single entitled "Loin" was released, but didn't meet success.

In 1998, Ségara performed with Garou a duet for the album Ensemble contre le sida (Eng: Together Against AIDS). The song is a cover version of "L'amour existe encore", composed by Luc Plamondon and Richard Cocciante for Celine Dion. Her performance of Armenian popular song “Dle Yaman” was posted in Youtube in 2011.
