His singing career has spanned 25 years. He has composed over 400 songs and numerous rhymes. He has written many books. He has performed in all the French-speaking countries. Christian Merveille has enchanted several generations of children. He gave his last “European show” in Belgium – his home country - last December. But it is right here, in Washington that he will sing (in French) on stage for the very very very last time, accompanied by Phillippe Hacardiaux, an accordionist.
Let’s make this event a memorable one!
