To celebrate 2022, Nagui brings together Margaux, Caroline, Kevin, Renaud and Jennifer in an unprecedented version of Do not forget the lyrics : The League of Maestros. We were with them backstage.
Direction Do not forget the lyrics, on December 7, 2021, to register the January 1 bonus with the five greatest candidates. With three weeks in advance, therefore. We don’t take offense anymore!
