Khrystyna Brovko (TY) student writes in French about Yannick Noah, French singer and tennis player
Yannick Noah est un joueur de tennis et chanteur. Il a 50 ans. Il a pris la retraite de jouer au tennis en 1996. Après, il se tourne en 1990 vers sa seconde passion: la musique. Sa première chanson, Saga Africa, devient le tube de l'été 1991. Dans ses chansons il chante de la pauvreté et du monde, par exemple la chanson ‘’Donne-moi une vie’’ que nous avons écouté en classe. Et en 2008, Yannick Noah ouvre une nouvelle page de sa carrière professionnelle: la comédie. Se
s chansons sont bonnes, bien qu’elles ne soient pas vraiment mon style.
