A few years ago, an insistent rumour presented you as a possible successor to Franck Riester as Minister of Culture. What about?

No, no, I'm an artist and minister, it's really not my job, it's not for me and I'm not interested in it at all. On the other hand, we all have political duties in the Greek sense of the term, but I think I have a lot more power by being free with my concert projects in the Amazon, in Brazil, or by talking about the metaverse...

It's the word "concert" here that I think is the error, in both the French and the English. I think JMJ is referring to the political awareness he raised around the Amazon's plight through his collaboration with Sebastião Salgado. I would be very suprised if there is a JMJ concert in the Amazon.

No one, none of musical act needs to go there. What Amazon needs is tranquility.

Completely agree.

I think that section is down to a poorly transcribed or poorly translated interview and it is a reference to his Amazonia album, and not a future concert project.

Obviously.

Concert
Jean-Michel Jarre at the Francofolies de La Rochelle
Duration: 105 minutes

Abstract
This 40th edition of the Francofolies ends with a concert by the pope of electronic music, who has lost nothing of his superb. Last May, Jean-Michel Jarre was in Bratislava, Slovakia, where he participated as part of the Starmus festival, in a free concert with Brian May, former guitarist of the band Queen. At the end of 2023, the artist gave a concert for the 400th anniversary of the Palace of Versailles: in addition to his great classics from his albums "Oxygène" and "Equinoxe", he resumed as an introduction the famous March for the ceremony of the Turks of Lully in electronic version.

I will be at the concert on 14 July but due to a change of travel plan, I now have 3 x spare tickets for JMJ at Francofolies. Please let me know if you want one. Richard.
