“Tiago” is Kendji Girac’s heartfelt shout-out to a childhood friend who has shared every bump and victory of life’s road. The French-Roma singer looks back at the days when they were kids “rowing” through hardships, then celebrates the moment they have finally become men ready to put the oars away. With warm guitar rhythms and a chorus full of smiles, Kendji promises that every tear, breakup, or fistfight will be faced together, because whoever laughs at Tiago laughs at him too.
At its core, the song is a tribute to unbreakable friendship and proud Gitano spirit. Kendji reminds Tiago that gypsies are born resilient, quick with their hands, and even quicker with their hearts. Whether Tiago’s heart is “out of order” or life turns rough, there is always a melody, four hands on the guitar, and a brother ready to fix whatever is broken. The message is simple yet powerful: true friends are family, and their bond will still make them laugh about today’s troubles twenty years from now.
