To request Ottawan for a disco revival, 1980s festival or dance-led corporate party, provide the proposed date, city and country, venue, audience size, event type and preferred presentation. Ottawan is a French disco project associated with “D.I.S.C.O.” and “Hands Up (Give Me Your Heart).” BnMusic can coordinate a professional paid-event enquiry with the relevant representatives; sending a request is not a confirmed engagement. Email: ottawan@bnmusic-artists.com.
No single public figure reliably defines the fee for every Ottawan event. A workable offer depends on date, location, type of event, travel routing, artist approval and production scope. For this act, clarify the authorised Ottawan show configuration and any vocal or dance support. Request an event-specific proposal rather than using an old online price or assuming accommodation, local production and taxes are automatically included.
Availability for Ottawan must be checked against the exact event date and destination. Public concert announcements are helpful routing context but are not a complete private-booking calendar. The current Patrick Jean-Baptiste live project and its routing should be checked for the proposed date. Provide one or two possible dates and allow time for a management-level response. A provisional discussion does not reserve or confirm the date.
For Ottawan, send the date, city/country, venue name and capacity, indoor or outdoor setting, event schedule, proposed artist set time, preferred performance configuration and available budget. Include travel expectations and a technical contact if the event is already in production. The quote can be affected by the authorised Ottawan show configuration and any vocal or dance support; incomplete information can therefore lead to a misleading estimate.
An initial Ottawan enquiry is assessed for event suitability and then, when appropriate, referred to the relevant artist representatives. The next steps can include date review, commercial negotiation, artist approval, contracting, payment milestones and coordination of rider, travel and on-site logistics. No performance is booked until the authorised parties agree the terms in writing. Enquiries: ottawan@bnmusic-artists.com.
The exact Ottawan live format is not safe to infer from a historic TV appearance or concert recording. The supplied official Ottawan website presents Patrick Jean-Baptiste, the male voice of the original duo, as the performer of the classic repertoire today. Verify any additional on-stage performers before promotion. Ask for written confirmation of the performers, music delivery, show billing and production configuration before approving a poster or making commitments to a venue.
There is no verified universal private-event set length that applies to every Ottawan engagement. The artist’s representatives must approve the proposed duration, any encore or split-set structure, and the place of the show within the event timetable. For a disco revival, 1980s festival or dance-led corporate party, specify the desired number of performance minutes in the offer and have the final duration written into the agreement.
Use the current event-specific rider for Ottawan, not a technical list copied from another tour. The production discussion may need to cover lead vocals, dance-music playback or live support as approved, and adequate audience-facing monitoring. Only the accepted show format determines the required stage size, inputs, power, soundcheck timing, sound and lighting. A local production provider should check the supplied rider before any equipment is ordered.
Not necessarily. A headline disco-festival appearance may not use the same personnel or running order as an Ottawan private-event show. Even if a public concert is announced near your city, the performance length, travel party, rehearsal schedule, rider and fee for a private engagement may be different. Request those terms explicitly before presenting the event as agreed. For the project’s own publicly presented information, see its official website: https://ottawanofficial.com.
Yes. Patrick Jean-Baptiste is the male singer associated with Ottawan’s original international disco recordings. The current project described on the official Ottawan website places him at the centre of performances of the classic catalogue. This should not be confused with a promise that every original performer from the duo will appear.
“D.I.S.C.O.” and “Hands Up (Give Me Your Heart)” feature easy-to-recognise hooks and participatory choruses, making them natural reference points for retro festivals and corporate dance events. Ottawan also recorded songs such as “You’re O.K.” The final event set and any sing-along segments require confirmation.
Ottawan is a French pop-disco duo formed in 1979 by producers Daniel Vangarde and Jean Kluger. The group was fronted by male vocalist Patrick Jean-Baptiste, originally from Guadeloupe, and female vocalist Annette Eltice. The duo achieved rapid international success, with their debut single “D.I.S.C.O.” reaching number 2 in the UK in September 1980 and topping charts worldwide. Their follow-up hit “Hands Up (Give Me Your Heart)” peaked at number 3 in the UK and reached number 1 in New Zealand, where it remained for eight weeks. The group recorded in both English and French, including the 1982 single “Musique Magique,” a French-language version of “Crazy Music.”
Ottawan’s infectious disco sound established them as significant contributors to the early 1980s pop-disco era. Their hits became enduring staples in dance music and pop culture, covered by numerous artists including UK act N-Trance, Canadian band Sway, and multiple European groups throughout subsequent decades. The group’s music has remained culturally resonant, with “Hands Up” becoming synonymous with Club Med’s leisure entertainment programming. Available to book for festivals, corporate events, and private celebrations.
