A CD single has just been released in France to support French collective association “Les Voix de l'enfant”, whose spokeswoman is actress Carole Bouquet. The purpose of the association is to assist any child in danger.

"Parle, Hugo, parle" is composed and written by Mathieu Johann, Nicoals Auvray and Marie-Florence Gros, the latter being co-writer of the 2002 Eurovision entry, Sandrine François.

The song is performed by no less than 26 artits, including people from all musical horizons within the French-speaking market : Sylvie Vartan, Michel Delpech, Nâdiya, Tété, Jenifer, Faudel… Two Eurovision entrants are on the list : Marie Myriam (1977's winner) and Patrick Fiori (France 1993).

Thanks to Johnny Logan and Hold me now I fell in love with the Eurovision Song Contest, a love that's been going strong ever since with undiminished passion. My first memories date back to 1977 and the lyrics of Rock bottom, Dschinghis Khan and A ba ni bi are still engraved in my brain.

I joined esctoday.com in 2006 as a junior editor after being invited by Barry Viniker, I soon became Senior Editor and during the 2007 contest in Helsinki I was appointed Head of Communications. Today I hold the post of Head of Human Resources and I am proud to be working with the best editorial team in the world.
