A few more words about Jil Aigrot, who will play a central role this evening. She encountered singing early in her childhood, and devoted herself mainly to the study of the art of French songs. After she accidentally met with Ginou Richer, Edith Piaf's confidante and assistant, Jil was chosen as the voice of the great Edith Piaf in Olivier Dahan's film “La Vie en Rose". Her performance impressed critics and viewers, Jil continued and released an album of interpretations of Edith Piaf's compositions entitled "The Words of Love“.
