Madonna and Dalida

Sam, MadonnaTribe’s team member and long time French correspondent is here to bring in the latest Madonna-related news from France. Madonna is mentioned in this week’s French TV guide Télé Loisirs in a 3-page article about Dalida, the late artist and entertainer.
According to Dalida’s brother, Orlando, when Madonna was living in Paris near the end of the 70’s, she patiently waited outside Graziano, the French diva’s favorite restaurant in Montmarte, to ask her for an autograph, adding that after she has become a star in her own right, Madonna remained a big fan of his sister’s work and career.

In an interview published in French mag Studio in 1991, Madonna herself mentioned Dalida as being one of her favorite French singers of all times along with Edith Piaf.

Thanks to Sam for the latest news from France.
