- Lesson #1 - Papaoutai in NYC
Since the release of his North American debut album “Racine Carrée,” international superstar Stromae has gone on to sell more than 3.5 million albums, performed for thousands of fans in stadiums across the globe, and for the first time in pop history, will be the first ever French spoken artist to have headlined the prestigious Madison Square Garden in New York City this fall.
Joining him as special guest at Madison Square Garden is the incomparable Janelle Monáe for one night only on October, 1st 2015. Limited amount of tickets are now available for purchase here: bit.ly/1NsTtoM
The incredible Jidenna will also join Stromae as direct support for the tour (except for the 9/12 show in Miami).
High profile fans joining his legion of dedicated supporters include Lorde, Madonna, Diplo, Kanye West (who famously made a surprise appearance on stage at this year's Coachella), Boy George, Tove Lo, Icona Pop, Sam Smith amongst many others. They have all publically proclaimed their admiration for the Belgian artist, whose aforementioned full-length album reached #1 in the Billboard World Album Charts and reached multi-platinum status across the world.
This fall, one of the most truly unique and loved performers of our time, will be returning to North American shores for a headlining tour in continued support of “Racine Carrée.” A full list of dates can be found below. Tickets are available here: bit.ly/1NsTtoM

i love the fact he has a tiny picture of himself and when he knocked it over, He stopped everything so he could pick it up.
Well, he is the Maestro.
Whom else could he be putting up as picture for inspiration but only himself?
Issa mood
@Hi I’m, *David was here!!!* 1:17

He's his own muse lol man
People: What style are you dancing?
Stromae: Yes.
Is yes a style?
@@lizimdivnishvili1715 yes
@@jojotard5027 yes
That’s what i call art dance
hahahhahaa
If you guys enjoy his music without understanding all of the lyrics perfectly, you have no idea how good it actually is. The message is heartbreaking and beautiful.
Marc Renel and plus we are in qurantine lol
it's really sad, he sings "father where are you", his father died in Rwandan Genocide. it must be a bittersweet feeling that this song has made it big, having to remind himself of that fact. just like Eric Clapton's Tears in Heaven being about his son who died tragically as a child
Its the same thing with kpop
Well we do have lyrics serving this purpose for the non-speakers:P
Bah si je comprends pfff c'est pas du Voltaire non plus
This guy really made one super killer album and was like "Aight, Imma head out."
he got a burn out, but sometimes he done duo with french artist like Orelsan
@@emosreno2101 Ou didn't know that, that's sad :/ :(
@@rajoya03 yeah and he had malaria and was really sick
@@100Brechtn is he fine again?
@@emosreno2101 why?
america - yeah I'd like to work with him in the future
Europe - IT'S LIT
america - yeah I'd like to work with him in the future
1 year later.....nothing
they actually did look up will i am papaoutai live
For America to be a melting pot it sure is uncultured.....and I'm American. 😔😔
@@13thhouse23 Have you been to New York though, it really is a melting pot. I'm surprised he wasn't noticed or maybe he was and they didn't show it.
The gas station son
Everytime when I look at him I really wanna hug him
Pauelle I want to feed him
And support him
You're so unique :)))
HelenaVanCity and not have someone break the chain of the comments section.
In the world of copycats, dare to be different. That's my motto. What's yours?
Americans are not used to appreciate such a great, down to earth artist who dare come among the people without security and glamour.
It's more simple: Americans don't care if it's not in English.
yup lots of crazy people there i would walk with security too
No, it's just kind of a weird thing to see in public. I mean let's be honest whether you enjoy the music or not, what are they supposed to do in that situation.
@Vaniya Gethers depends what part of america you live in
Dude, we had one of our leaders get shot because a cab driver wanted to impress an actress, and I know crazy stalker fans aren't just part of the U.S, but dude, it ain't safe to be well known and wandering around without back up here
American: "Who is that weird guy?"
Cultered country next door that speaks more than 1 language: "OH MY GOD, IS THAT STROMAE?!?!?!"
Yeah he should have gone to French Canada
Tbf if I saw someone bust out these double- no, triple-jointed moves on public transport I would feel spoofed
@@peeper2070 Sorry but I prefer the Oculus or the Cutefish
No there's no Spanish spoken in USA. Shows how cultured you are.
@@Shiroikage98 They're talking about Canada, not France.
It's so weird to see people treat him as an unknown
Gabriel Bicalho to be fair in America That wouldn't exactly stand out. Performing In mid street is legal now.
Not treating him like a nobody. They just don't know who he is...yet. Also, French lyrics face an uphill climb in a place where very few people understand the language.
Well Jerome Jarre knew who he was but that's because he's not American either😂😂😂
GABIOL ! It makes me want to cry 🙃😭😩 he's so amazing
It's on purpose. I want to cry too at first, then I found this m.czcams.com/video/iDGvWX-tFGM/video.html
He's such a real "nobody"
Makes me love him even more
lol I saw this guy in a laccoste store in NY I asked for a picture and he replied "Sorry its my day off" this guy is a legend
+GamerKidz Lol he's known for not wanting pictures sometimes. He pissed off some guy once for not wanting to take a picture with his daughter.
Isn't it weird he goes to a Lacoste store in NY? Why would you even do that?
That.. seems kind of douchy.
Ag Ameca well you have to keep in mind that he kind of needs to be alone and be "normal" he doesn't have to take a picture with them it's his decision and if he doesn't want to you can't complain because if he did he doesn't charge you
Andrew Nguyen agreed on the "normal" part, but it all depends on how it went and how he says it. Or if he was rude or not. I just say it sounded (or was read) kind of that way. I admire the guy and would be heartbrokening if he treated his fans kind of bad.
Dutch: Omg stromae!
Belgians: Omg Stromae!
French: Omg Stromae!
Scandinavians: Omg Stromae!
Asians: Omg Stromae!
Latins: Omg Stromae!
Americans: Who the fk is this illegal alien....
Africans: Omg Stromae!
Exactly. Here in the Netherlands this song plays alot on the radio. I don't think all dutch people know exactly who he is but they know his songs!
Chakurax Toen ik 9 was luisterde ik heel veel naar zijn muziek
@@anaeme8250 Yes, and Asia is also a continent. What's your point?
@@LhasaThailand América es un continente desde Alaska hasta Ushuaia.
The most I love about this guy , is the fact that he lives in his own world. He doesn’t actually do the latest trends and those things. He does he own thing!
That's what makes his music timeless.
Omg he's such a laid back guy 😂😂😂 "whatchu eating mah friend?"
"A hot dog *muffled*"
😂😂😂😂
it was actually "a handjob"
That killed me
Laid means ugly in french
lol, Americans looking at him like he is a crazy hobo, in the mean time in Europe he's selling out arenas after arenas xd
+AeroArama Americans look at him like Trump wouldn't let this Arab Mexican in.
+tytube3001 lol arab mexican :p he's part belgian and part rwandese
+AeroArama to be fair if you live in NYC there's a 99% chance if you see someone like this he is a crazy hobo
+Joe Dolan (framk) No hobbo has that kind of clothes, as crazy as they can be
eric23443219091 well it's not because he speaks french, that he is french. Almost everybody in Belgium speaks french and english.Half of belgium speaks french everyday, the other half speaks dutch and in some parts they speak german.
"Tickets on sale, I'm the guy on the poster" 3:52 Hahaha this guy is hilarious
very funny :D
*"And the last last part is the performance.... And im Freezing"*
*-Stromae*
That was epic
not really
Yeah it was
XD THAT WAS FUNNY AF
This guy's overwhelming charisma makes my nose bleed every time. How can someone be so ultra-cool?
I-I feel bad for you.
+Indigo Osmanthus bitch plz :)
***** I feel bad for me too. Especially in this heat wave...
you are beautiful :)
+Indigo Osmanthus Have you ever heard of Ghandi?
I CAN'T BELIEVE THAT NOBODY NOTICE THAT IS STROMAE
+Swaggy Bizzle to late in NY...one in subway with selfie
+Swaggy Bizzle I KNOW!!! lol

+Swaggy Bizzle Funniest part is when he said that he knew Madonna, they probably thought it was just the delusions of a madman. lol
+Swaggy Bizzle
I can't believe that nobody noticed that spelling mistake at 2:09
Stromae: "last part is.. perform it!'
**Adorable smile**
Also Stromae: "also I'm freezing"
HES SO BABYYYY 🥺🥺🥺🥺

2020
2020: yea leave it in the recommendations
2020: let's search it !
2020 lol
He's so goofy when he speaks English. I love it.
Gladiator the Dream Cat He's goofy even when he's not speaking English
Diamondmyna
True.
I'm French and American, and I've been a fan for so long!!! If I had seen Stromae on the street I would die from excitement.
He is so laid back and funny.
same.. but quebec born, and same about the excitement
You could also learn Dutch since he is fluent in that too.
I am Russian and I don't speak ANY French at all, but I LOOOOOOOOOVE Stromae!!!! Would love to go to his live performance! Hugs :)
Indeed 😁
Sydney Grause but he's not french
I didn’t know this song was about this. It just sounded like something nice to dance to.
Shout out to all the present and loving dads out there. As men the standard has really been set low, showing up, just showing up is like 90% of what we just have to do. To the men doing this and more. Salute.
Interesting thing to think about, who raised irresponsible dads?
Fortunately most men are loving dads!!! I am lucky to have one
I believe his dad was murdered in Rwanda but he didn't know until he was grown and so resented him
@@bacchic6676 Yeah, his dad was murdered during the Rwanda genocides
hes so underated i miss him ..
Kitty hes definitely not underrated...
@@Snow-ej5fm outside of Europe he is
@Die verrückte Frau he experienced burn out, a lot of artists take very long breaks so they won’t experience it like indila (yes I’m American I’m a big fan of her) 😭
those americans doesn't even realise they getting a free performance of stromae the biggest singer in europe
IKR, IM SO JEALOUS
DAMMIT COME TO MY STATE DAMMIT
And fans like you don't realize that most people in the U.S don't give a rat's ass about him. And you say he's the biggest singer in Europe? Tell that to Ed Sheeran, Queen, and Paul McCartney.
Hahaha no way
@@TheKing-uu7jn the thing is that all these legends were singing in English. And non English singers are nothing for Americans
As an American, I'd scream if I met him in person, tbh. I don't even speak French, but I love, LOVE his music. It's catchy, powerful, and just so beautifully put together.
Erika Gutierrez This belgian singer is amazing
duude, if he started dancing like that in South Africa - Everyone would join in 😂 not bloody watch !
So true.
Bruh legiiit😂
Dude even in my country botswana next to sa
1:33
Why is Belgian Stromae in America counting in portuguese?
I guess his love for Cesaria Evora made him learn Portuguese
Notei isso, só faltou ele fazer uma música em português.
@@youcannotredo3491 português de Portugal, convém :)
@@MajorAristov Português BR, entendo nada do português PT.
@orange Essa bosta aí é uma península da Ásia, tá moscando. Tu acha que é a mesma grade curricular para todos os países? Ah tá bom.
Can't believe no one knew him
Tazzi R Ignorance 😑😭
Tazzi R the dude on the subway (Jerome Jarre) did
@@nisarojas2869 jerome jarre is famous so that doesnt really count. Also he's french
Temp John yeah, but we haven’t heard from him in a long time
that's because americans only really listen to songs in english, unless you like kpop
my French teacher always made us listen to him.
Me too
+CZcams Subster seems u need more education and culture
+Cole Flowers tell your teacher listen "nekfeu" or "aladin135"
And I can't get my French teacher to listen to him. She always forgets.
+Isha Joshi Make her listen to "Booba" french singer
He looks like a GTA V character.
10/10 would play as him is he was a character ddkdk
That jump at 3:21 was right on with the beat drop it’s so perfect I keep rewatching it. 👌🏾
America's loss!! This guy is a musical genius...we just have to wake up and notice talent in other parts of the world instead of thinking all great talent lays here!
I don't really listen to a lot of American artist. I go to the UK or France or Islanders music.
@@naviitaramro3474 congratulations
No one thinks talent is solely in America, it’s just the fact there isn’t a large population of Americans who listen to French music.
I mean, they don't see a music star they see some random lankey black guy they can't understand frankly dancing strangely on the street. (Not to be rude) Take a dose of context dude. Can't see talent when you see a guy with a synthesizer shouting nonsensical lyrics on the street in bright turquoise and orange with pics of a block man giving a block boy a piggy back ride. I'd see some weirdo tourist acting out for a laugh ala Logan Paul.
Talent isn't talent, it's being well known and relatable. He is neither in the Americas
@@DTux5249 real recognize real. trash recognizes trash (look at billboard hot 100). your guys' sense of music is disgustingly primitive. keep listening to fully autotuned songs that are ripping off (sampling) older hits.

He has his own clothes brand :) It is called mosaert
Seriously he’s just too cool and I wish he would make more music. I love everything...the video the lyrics, the music ... it’s all so good!!
Hello Pitchfork, Racine Carrée it's not his debut album, his debut album is called Cheese.
But it is a great artist with a huge presence and talent. A huge inspiration, for sure :)
Por aqui?
+Diogo Sena of course! :) já viste o vídeo? So good!
+Patricia Fernandes it's his 'North American debut album'which means it's the first album released in North America :D

kikiwonderland ikr he is so adorable!
Hmm, I hate that dislike don't works in comment
he's not silly
chill bruh
I love how everyone is looking at him like he's lost it while I'm over here fangirling like crazy. Lol
this man right here is just straight up a legend
Wow a legend walking on the street no one noticed 🥴🥴🥴 really I would pay a thousand$ to be there 😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭🌹🌹🌹🌹💕😍💕 I love this guy 👌
Madonna and stromae already met 4 years ago. because they share the same dancers and choreographers. A lot of their dancers are always in Brussels and Paris. Not sure why some media act as if they met just last year or why stromae acted surprised on that tv show when they said M wants to see him. they already met before, lol. but it's all entertainment I guess.
+Layla Ac "And she tells it thru a tv show ? Dang, thanks for the free ad."
+Layla Ac C'est une saloperie de business c'est eux qui décident si tu devient connu ou si tu restes inconnu. Ils s'en batent les couilles du talent.
They are located in brussels one : Because Stromae is from Belgium, two ; because Madonna almost made her debut in Belgium before moving back to America when she was younger, her career started in France and Belgium (or almost did) and a lot of her dancers probably come from there too :)
1:30 "Dois, três, quatro" Stromae knows some portuguese
I just saw another video of him in this channel (czcams.com/video/tsqG176hmUY/video.html - at 0.56) they play the cavaquinho. It's a portuguese instrument maybe he is being surround by portuguese culture ;)
(Portuguese are everywhere in the EU!!!) xD
Cavaquinho from Brazil not Portugal
Or spanish because he knows in spanish how yo Say, I love you like te quiero
@@Lilopiink Its with a portuguese accent not spanish ;)
StormKPL1990 х хдж
No need to speak the language. I recently discovered him and I am obsessed. Merci, Stromae for giving us your masterpieces! Everything you publish is pure gold!
I just love his outfits 💕 it mildly tugs at my emotions that no one noticed him. I hope he did find people who did notice I'm in Texas.
Darn if that aint the tiniest keyboard I've ever seen in my life.

Saw him perform live in New York. Wow what a performance, incredible! This guy is the real deal.
Was dancing to this everytime it got on TV back in my childhood days❤️I loved itt
The way he gets his stuff out of the car gives me Mr. Bean vibes and I'm all here for it
I love Stromae! I am so excited he is coming to America! Hopefully, we comes to Chicago!!! I was so disappointed when he couldn't make it to Lollapalooza this year :( I try to tell all my friends about him, but no one in the U.S understands!!
same with me No one knows about stromae in the states!
+Henry Ngo Suppose it is impossible to make the majority of a country know him just through festivals I suppose. Would think people would know him though when he was at Coachella, SXSW and more than one video with him on VEVO U.S. channel, even featuring on hot this week, also I believe he was on Jimmy Kimmel Live, PTX covered Papaoutai and also without forgetting Beats 1 Radio on iPhone etc. plays Stromae's music I believe. How many listeners does Beats 1 have? Perhaps people who listen to Beats 1 will recognise some of his songs but just don't know his name or what he looks like. I was confused the very first time I tried listening to Beats 1 and I heard Tous les mêmes I was quite surprised, thought that must be a positive sign for him. Sure he must be better known in U.S.A than in England. Was real shame when he had to pull out of probably his first festival in the UK, as well as being fifth down from the top of the lineup next to Clean Bandit and Jessie J, and likely on main stage even though hardly anybody knows him and his only song that charted and people know by him is Alors on Danse.
+Henry Ngo I know him
How did you discover Stromae? I heard him the first time on France Bleu on the internet - Formidable and then next day I found this website called French Radio London and there was a podcast with Stromae and I thought that was the guy who sang formidable and sounded familiar and that is how I discovered him. Also saw the CD and his name on charts cd's last summer on holiday in France.
+Learning French and singer to be honest, I first found out about him through Just Dance 2015, their new DLC lol
Oh my gosh, he's adorable at 3:34 when he messes up his English haha "Ça va!"
Awwww.🥲🤗
I love that he has his dad's pic in a frame for this.
I lost my dad too.
🙏❤
What a talent and what a genius!
*3 million albums*
*1 billion hit songs*
fuck i just shit myself
I love how uncomfortable people are getting when they see him dancing😂
I love this guy!!! His creativity is infectious!!!!
I love this guy so much.
2:54 lol Jerome what are you doing on a train with stromae where's his carrot son
Exactly what I was wondering! xD
Lexi C this comment caused me an asthma attack and I’m not even joking
"Hello America ! This is Belgium. Yep the tiny country in the middle of the map…"
Uhm, "the map" doesn't have a middle. From Japan's point of view, Japan is the center of the world map. It's different for everyone.
+Scy Not if you take the greenwich time line as the centre. Also if you type in "world map" in google images, you will see that most of those maps have the greenwich time line as the centre of the map.
+theskydoll Funny, most Americans who are into EDM music would 100% know where Belgium is. Tomorrowland ffs.
baby fart ''Most'' does not mean ''all''. No matter how often Belgium is in/near the middle of any world map, that concept still doesn't apply to ALL world maps.
+Scy Whatever country doesn't use the greenwich line centered world map is just being silly.
Never tired of that song, he is a genius.
The guy who touched my soul with music

Such a happy sounding song with such a depressing backstory, RIP Stromae's dad and thank god Rwanda right now is the singapore of Africa.
I love his energy. I really like that guy!

i appreciate him so much as a Artist and a human beeing. i love him!!!!
Love his personality, he is just the best
Tears.. tears brother
I Love your songs
is anyone gonna talk about the tiny picture of himself in that tiny frame tho lmao.
Jaehee💖💕
Stromae how just how this is a piece of absolute art! One of the most meaningful yet sad songs I’ve ever heard in my life
I didn't know that our Stromae of our smollll Belgium is also well known in so many places around the world! I also never heard him speak English, so this is the first time I guess. He's so amazing and a great singer!!! And his dance skills... 👌
Dude!!! Your smile is so beautiful.. even your personality is so nice
He is freaking amazing man!! Been following him for awhile now and will forever! He is amazing! We Americans can learn alot from him beyond the lyrics!
he got me into music production - love this guy
I've recently found his music and don't speak a lick of French but his music and his personality is infectious. What I find hilarious is his opening to this is American artist talking like they will do him a favor by working with him and then it cuts to him blowing away the stage at his concerts, his accolades and his albums sold.
How Sweet and Simple he is 💚
he's so great. i would spaz if i were there . . .
This is music American,not that watch me whip shit..this guy is pure talent can't wait to c him.
Trust me, I hate the whip / nae nae thing too, I'm American.
The majority of Americans hate that song.
+jcdirty30 some people though...
Ikr, i hate that song. It's the biggest shit ever lol
Btw, not all americans are dumb enough to like that song, just look at the comments of that music video. either educated people who hate it or 8 year olds who can't spell right who say they like to dance to it.
Omg, I wish I could have been those places in NY city and just scream his name and introduce the Americans who is Stromae. I dont understand french, but speaks (sings) to my heart. Great guy , great music .Stroooooooomaaaaaaaee
Even without the second part the song already made me addictive. Stromae must mean something like = brilliant / genius / top level of creativity
Stromae is maestro but with the syllables switched and a maestro is the guy with the stick that commands everything in an orchestral
@@uliktors1814 I knew about the switching, but I did never know what a maestro is. Something new learned 😅
