Behind the recording

Kolé Séré — Béroard and Lavil’s 1996 Enfoirés performance

The organizer’s archive documents a specific “Kolé Séré” duet: Jocelyne Béroard and Philippe Lavil in La Soirée des Enfoirés 1996. That performance belongs to a three-song medley, which should be distinguished from the album and single listings.

The documented 1996 duet

The Enfoiréthèque, the show organizer’s archive, identifies Jocelyne Béroard and Philippe Lavil as the vocalists for “Kolé Séré” in La Soirée des Enfoirés 1996. It places their performance inside the medley Les chansons des îles, alongside “Melissa” and “Maladie d’amour.”

If you are looking for this appearance, the show year and medley title are the useful identifiers. A standalone streaming track called “Kolé Séré” does not by itself identify the 1996 performance.

Songwriting is separate from performance

The same archive credits Béroard as writer, Jean-Claude Naimro as composer and Tabata Music as publisher. Its song metadata gives 1987, while its show record gives 1996. The song-year field is therefore not the year of this concert appearance.

The archive does not supply an exact performance day or the accompanying instrumental personnel. It also does not establish which commercial audio release, if any, contains this particular medley.

Find the named edition or performance

These are separate listening leads: an entry on Siwo, an entry in the Kolé Séré single package, and a Chawa live track explicitly featuring Jean-Claude Naimro. None is labeled as the 1996 Enfoirés medley in the captured metadata. In particular, the single entry is not identified here as the Philippe Lavil duet without a supporting performer credit.

The dates in the table belong to those provider editions. The Siwo entry’s 1986 date also shows why the organizer’s 1987 song-year field cannot safely be treated as a universal first-release date.
