For the 10th anniversary of the Samilia Foundation, the celebration had to be spectacular — and the audience was not disappointed. Salvatore Adamo delivered an exceptional concert that literally lifted the crowd of fans gathered in a packed Conservatory.

A decade worthily celebrated, but also an opportunity to remind everyone of the very reason the Foundation exists. It is important not to forget that today, 48 million people worldwide are still reduced to slavery, including 5.5 million children.

To support Samilia, Adamo performed the iconic hits that made him one of the greatest masters of French music, as well as songs from his latest album, showcasing his deep sensitivity and profound humanity. Introduced by Professor Brotchi, Adamo brilliantly captured the audience with his immense talent and with the generosity of his commitment to the Samilia Foundation. The crowd was particularly moved by “Ceux qui restent” and the magnificent “Inch’Allah.” People of all generations came in great numbers to applaud the singer and, at the same time, support Samilia’s team in its work against human trafficking.

This extraordinary concert concluded before a crowd of devoted fans standing, dancing, and singing along to “Laisse mes mains sur tes hanches,” “Tombe la neige,” “Les filles du bord de mer,” and ended with thunderous applause that seemed strong enough to shake the already weathered stucco of the Conservatory.

That night, Adamo offered not only his voice, but also his heart to the cause defended by the Samilia Foundation.
