C'est gai

\"C’est gai\" is a live recording by Malian-French vocalist Amina (born Amina Annabi). The track appears as the opening number on her 2021 archival release capturing performances from the Festival d’été de Québec 2001. The album documents a concert held during the festival’s 34th edition, though the exact performance date within the July–August 2001 schedule remains unconfirmed in available sources.

The recording runs 4 minutes and 57 seconds. The song’s lyrical and melodic structure reflects Amina’s fusion of North African musical traditions with contemporary pop and worldbeat arrangements, a hallmark of her work since her 1991 debut. The live version retains the upbeat tempo and call-and-response vocal phrasing characteristic of her studio interpretations, adapted here for a festival audience.

Bell released the Festival d’été de Québec 2001 album on July 15, 2021, in CD format under license. The compilation features a curated selection of tracks from Amina’s setlist, though the full concert repertoire and accompanying musicians are not detailed in the release metadata. The 2021 issue marks a delayed commercial publication of the 2001 performance, issued two decades after the original event.

No additional production credits, alternate mixes, or subsequent reissues of \"C’est gai\" from this performance have been documented. The track’s inclusion on streaming platforms or digital formats beyond the 2021 CD release is unverified in public records.
