Corneille

[Lady Celes Crusader]

Corneille (Raven), is a Rwandese that have been raised by a Huutu mother and a Tutsi Father in happiness until the dreaded massacre in 1994. Surviving all his parents and siblings, he fled in Germany where he have relatives there and had been adopted by a German couple. One faithful day, he decided to make a trip over Montreal and litterrally adopted the city. He started his singing carreer there and starts to be famous in France. Recently, Corneille earned his Canadian citizenship.

 

So I invite you to take a look over this very well done fan site (the official one is still being built) that gives you an idea of Corneille's R&B music. His song's lyrics are very introspective and the consequences of the Rwanda tragedy tincted many of his songs. While this site in only in French, I'm pretty sure anyone can find their way in the Multimedia section after clicking on the "Entrer" button at the bottom right of the screen.
