The 55-year-old, said to be always ready to help old pals – which included producing Bruni´s debut album when she tired of modeling and decided to reinvent herself as a pop artiste – will be doing a gig in Kathmandu next month to help out a Nepali friend.
Bertignac, one of the founder members of famed French rock band Telephone, will perform in the Nepal Academy auditorium in Kathmandu on May 23 to help SAC Music International, a music company formed 11 years go by Sachidanand Rauniyar.
Rauniyar, who also owns fusion band Trikaal here, says his ties with Bertignac go back to 2003 when the French singer had given a performance in Kathmandu.
"It was a most memorable concert," the 31-year-old Nepali producer told IANS.
At that time, French tennis player turned soul singer Yannick Noah was also in Nepal to shoot a music video. While shooting ´Pokhara´, Noah came to know that Bertignac was performing and arrived at the venue to belt out some catchy numbers himself.
