The Paris Olympic Games, a success combining art and sport

During the opening ceremony of the Paris Olympic Games on July 26, 2024, the song “Supernature” was used during the elevation of the flame. Since then, the song has exploded the charts with more than a million and a half Shazams. “Supernature” made more than historic the torch relay plan of Rafael Nadal, Serena Williams, Carl Lewis, Nadia Comaneci and the performance of dancer Shaheem Sanchez who poetically interprets “Supernature” in sign language. Cerrone also said “It was a great emotion, a great pride and it was magnificent to hear this song in the middle of this illumination of the Eiffel Tower. I had never experienced anything like it.”

In 2024, Cerrone is more active than ever, reinterpreting his classics and creating new tracks that continue to inspire the contemporary electro and disco scene . His career spanning more than five decades is a testament to his talent and ability to reinvent himself, while remaining true to his musical roots.
