You forgot to watch till the end. The boy turns also in a mannequin, so he copies his dad's role. Anyway welcome in the world of our Belgian genius. Stromae is a complete artist with visual masterpieces. From popular to less: L'enfer, Tous les memes, Formidable, Santé, Fils de joie. A must see is Quand c'est, very powerful. His breakthrough song is Alors on danse, popular on tiktok few years ago. A bit context for Papaoutai: Stromae lost his father during the Rwandan genocide. His mom only told him the truth years later when he was old enough to understand, so he was always thinking where his father was and why he didnt come home.

[@Michel-ck9if]

❤ Thanks for the explaination

[@DaisyKmua]

Quand c'est is chilling

[@norbertsobon5621]

I'm 27, originally from Poland, and Alors on danse comes to mind mind first, subconsciously - Papaoutai is probably my favourite song of his, probably because of how much I relate to it

[@BlueDusk95]

Stromae is a major Belgian singer songwriter whose father was a victim of the Rwanda genocide. The title of the song means "Daddy where are you? Papa où t'es ?"

[@louisvictor4715]

not the " Rwandan Genocide" more accurately the Genocide against Tutsi

[@stacynaus2761]

Stromae came up on my husbands Spotify playlist one day and we have both been obsessed ever since. He has a concert on YT that’s about 2 hours long with all his best hits, we watch it at least once a year. He is a great showman!!!!

[@Malfehzan]

You should watch his passage on Tiny Desk Concert, if you haven't already.

[@LalaDepala_00]

Yes! More Stromae please. He is a legend in Europe. Edit: Stromae is Belgian

[@NitroMaestro]

Definitely he needs to see quand cest, ave cesaeria and sante

[@direlyon]

Stromae is a genius singer.please listen to him more...you will discover a real sensitive person like no other on earth.

[@joedihobo9731]

Belgium sent Stromae to France, that's the best gift ever with their beers !

[@rabanmartine3902]

And Brel 😉

[@jennyjen6987]

And fries....😉

[@joedihobo9731]

@@jennyjen6987 not that much

[@dopier]

@@joedihobo9731 french fries go hard?

[@retronax4346]

He still lives in Brussels as far as we're aware, unles i'm misinterpreting the comment

[@jimmybastas3559]

Stromae is an amazing artist. Stro mae means Maestro in french slang

[@jaguu4real]

He's from Belgium but blew up all over Europe to an insane level around a decade ago with alors on danse (which will probably be next reaction judging from the taste of those requesting)

[@cikee0102]

Stromae No 1 creative artist and also artist No 1 in Belgium Check his 1st song '' ALORS ON DANSE '' And after that '' TOUS LES MÊMES '' and '' FORMIDABLE ''

[@afullmonty6977]

MORE STROMAE PLEASEEEE

[@laziojohnny79]

It's like the creators of the videos of Zouk Machine (Maldon) and Soundgarden (Blackhole Sun) had a wild night in the lmid-90s and 30 years later their offspring directed Stromae's video of Papaoutai.

[@conniemeerman2156]

The genius behind the video is that you can figure out the story without knowing the language

[@_kaisa_]

We need more Stromae in this channel!)

[@loreleimorphee5162]

Stromae father died during the Rwanda genocide, so he 's mother couldn't tell him that he was dead. She waited until he was 12 to tell him that died in the genocide that killed his entire family. so she used to tell him that he was working everywhere,. That was a tribute to his father.

[@ve.sappho]

not stromae, hahaha, I swear every canadian grew up with this song being played during french class 😂 he's really good though, I like all his music. His music videos are usually very artistic too, and his lyrics typically have deeper meanings than most pop songs. Hope you do more of his works!

[@black4pienus]

Stromae the Maestro.

[@agnieszkasol-berg]

The father in the video is Stromae, the artist. I think the mannequin is an absent dad. The boy imagines his dad teaching him to dance, but it's just a ?dream? The dad disappears. And then the boy never learns to become a good dad and just becomes just like his absentee father. I think Stromae's father was absent ?working when he was young and then he was killed in the Rwandan genocide.

[@aidsanosyan]

Hello, can you please make a reaction to the singer Tina Karol - Your eyes are closed / The musical performance "I still love" she has a very beautiful voice, I think you will like it, she can even sing with a whistle register here in this video she sings with a whistle register sometimes

[@mra7xfan07]

Sometimes I think I’m the only one who listens to certain songs so it makes happy that I’m not! Love this song!!

[@g.h3874]

It has like billions of plays? 💀

[@ricopisco5758]

This is the best that you got on Stromae! Thank you!

[@arnaudfraichot5402]

Try Lara Fabian singing Je suis malade from Serge Lama

[@PlusMinu7]

3:40 I know your not talking about Drake bruhh XD

[@biodorkus]

Pentatonix has a great cover of this song as well!

[@GuyWets-zy5yt]

Why u stopped before the end?

[@pop9340]

Why didnt he just watch the video with subtitles on?

[@louisvictor4715]

Stromae's father Pierre Rutare was killed during the Tutsi genocide in 1994 when Stromae was 9 years old. His father was Rwandan Tutsi and his mother is Flemish Belgian.

[@rickneumann7349]

Thanks for reacting to Stromae (if you switch the syllables it spells Maestro, a common thing done in the Belgian society among artists). He is well-known for his very political songs. Papaoutai (properly spelled "Papa, oú t'ai" - Dad, where are you?) is one of his more personal if not intimate songs, bearing his soul and the years having no father at home. But the reality is different from what he wrote in this song, as his father was killed in a genozide in Rwanda shortly after leaving his family. So Paul van Haver, his real name, was never able to build a father-son-bond that he craved for. Would love to see you reacting more to his work, as he is a hell of a great artist. Sidenote: Pentatonix covered this song (and yes, they did it in French language...) - a must-see! Regards from Germany Rick

[@laziojohnny79]

Our polymath who lives half the year in western Europe (Andalucia, Spain), has never heard of one of Europe's most popular artists....

[@Stiijn1990]

From Belgium here: biting their fingers/fingernails. In our language it means getting very stressed about something.

[@Lyxi..__..123]

Formidable 🫶🏻

[@KdVSerpentinit]

Stromae, the maestro and moseart of our current time. He is a mastermind in combining uplifting dance beats with deep lyricismn. The first song I heard ever heard was Alors on Danse back in 2010 and only thought about it as a party song but years later I first read the translated lyrics and then the song got a whole new meaning. His songs and videos are worth a deep dive.

[@rombikibmor]

"L'enfer" Stromae😮!!!

[@aidsanosyan]

[@josbroersma7419]

Please react to BGKO- Od Ebra Do Dunava(live in Vilnius) or to Shantel- Planet Paprika

[@m.i.bendoundergroundpictur3500]

Écoute [ Enfer ] de Stromae,,,,, Listen,[ hell ] of Stromae

[@Aurora-kx8qj]

Avoid listening to “Quand c’est?” by Stromae if you don’t wanna cry 😢

[@seejaytee]

Another interesting song by him is Carmen, its full of really interesting points, i think youd like it

[@S.Moustage]

Tell my that ur american without saying that ur american.

[@Nunyabizness_]

I thought this was a reaction to Pentatonix version.

[@Bilal_nsr]

could you watch kollegah sigma it will be his last tape he said and the song is fire

[@Szimicards]

Please listen to his song Formidable. The video is very unique. And btw the father in the video is Stromae.

[@Nicholas_is_my_name]

I don't know if you find out in this video because I'm not finished with it yet but his father died in the Rwandan genocide

[@femkethielemans4686]

We love him here in Belgium ❤❤

[@rabanmartine3902]

Means where are you daddy

[@YoutubeWatcher1411]

You've gotta check out "Stromae - Alors on danse" if you've haven't yet!

[@Astrodicted]

Stromea is an amazing artist. Now that he heard about Belgium for the first time....Arno next ! 😜

[@realityisblurred3330]

Legend - probably best known song over here would be "Alors En Danse" a dance song staple

[@Ggeekz]

I wish you watched til the end where the kids sits down and becomes a mannequin just like his father

[@catsara9114]

Stromae is a wonderful artist from Belgium, very popular in Europe.
