    SCULLY RENCONTRE
    (Pres.: Robert-Guy Scully)
    Nana learned different languages to understand the other cultures.
    The open air cinema of her father was a time of sympathy and of sharing.
    The war has been a traumatic experience from which it is hard to break free. But it gave her the strength to search for Love, Peace, Justice and Hope.
    She sees children with the eyes of the little girl she was at this time. It’s this reason that makes her want to protect them. Today, her experience and her acquaintances help her to defend certain causes.
    The song is her means of expression and it would be hard for her to stop even after 35 years. What is important is to like what we do and to do it well.
    Concerning her glasses, it was the best way to not make concessions. They helped her remain who she was.

    SONIA BENEZRA RENCONTRE…
    (Pres.: Sonia Benezra)
    Nana feels a need to continually search for songs.
    She believes there is a language for dreams, accessible to everyone, which is a mixture of all emotions.
    As a war child, she began to express herself through music, searching for Peace and Hope.
    Life gave her a lot of satisfaction and it’s by gratitude that she continues to sing. At the same time, music reassures her of the love of the public.
    When she divorced, she had decided not to sing anymore. But her children convinced her to continue. Her children followed her on tour until the age of seven years old. She transmitted to them the respect for life, for themselves and for thy neighbour.
    She is amazed at her success. It is an opportunity she had. Each child and each youth has a chance in life and we have to support them.
    She shares her life with her producer, someone who understands her profession.
    She is patient, and never lost her enthusiasm to know and learn.
    She dreams that her children will be happy and wishes to be useful helping the young artists through her foundation.
    If there is one song she would choose to present her to the future generations, it would be "Hartino to fengaraki". It’s a truth of life. When one believes, everything can become reality.
    She prefers not to know why she pleases so many people, because the moment that we know our secrets, we change.

    Excerpts in concert from "Return to Love", "Love changes everything" and "Dix mille ans encore".
