Aya Nakamura's tableau for the launch of the Paris Olympics dazzled more than one. Relive her cover of Charles Aznavour and her modern live performance supported by one of the most prestigious orchestras in France, the Republican Guard.

She lives up to her title of “Queen.” Aya Nakamura performed on the Pont des Arts, during the opening ceremony of the Paris 2024 Olympic Games. After months of rumors and controversy, the superstar responded to all the criticism with an incendiary performance.

Dressed all in gold, the French artist performed her two biggest hits “Pookie” and “Djadja”, in a surprising version. Surrounded by her dancers in golden outfits, she sang to the melodies of the Republican Guard for an ultra modern and impactful result.

As previously announced, Aya Nakamura also covered Charles Aznavour's classic, “For Me Formidable” to offer a memorable modern version.
