Everything seemed to smile at Barbara Weldens, a young French singer who last year had won the first prize for emerging talents at the Jacques Brel Festival, and this one recorded her first album. As part of that string of successes, he performed on Wednesday night in a dream town in the Goudron region of southwestern France. Unfortunately, that was the last performance of her life, because just like what happened to Papa Wemba last year, she also died on stage.

As reported by the BBC during her presentation, the young woman, who had been raised in a circus, collapsed on the floor, apparently electrocuted. This was confirmed by the organizers of Pic D'Or prize, another music award that she won last year. Through a statement, that entity stated: "It is with great feeling that we learned this morning of the death of Barbara Weldens, our Pic d'Or in 2016 at a concert last night in Goudron … obviously electrocuted."

It is not clear what caused the electrical failure that cost the artist her life, but it is known that due to this she suffered a heart attack and that people tried to help her right there, but unfortunately nothing could be done to save her.

The same statement mentioned above described the artist as "a radiant, energetic and talented woman, and of course we think of her family and loved ones."

Although it was little known, his album Le grand H de l'homme had been very well received by critics. In a recent interview, she had said that since she was a child her great dream had always been to compose songs.
