Juli Chan's fans are already accustomed to her spectacularly sung covers. Recently, the artist paid tribute to Ariana Grande - her longtime mentor and musical inspiration - by performing "Bad Idea" from the heart. Today, she listens to "Joe Le Taxi," the essence of 1980s POP. She vibes with the song and her candid voice, introducing contemporary sounds to the French hit.
"Joe Le Taxi" is a song about a taxi driver who is well-versed in the romantic streets of Paris. Joe adores Parisian nightlife, with its hidden bars and gleaming bridges over the Seine. In his cab, there is always good music playing. While stuck in traffic, taxi driver Joe entertains his passengers with rumba, mambo, saxophone sounds, and good old rock.
"While researching the song, I discovered an intriguing story behind the lyrics." Joe is the pen name of Maria José Leo dos Santos, a female Portuguese taxi driver who fled to France in the 1970s. Maria José faced discrimination because of her sexual orientation. When Maria José's mother discovered her daughter was a lesbian, she took her to an exorcist, then to the hospital, and finally to a nun-run school. In the French capital, she adopted the name Joe and a male-dominated profession. She could be herself, traveling around Paris at night with guests from LGBT clubs. I believe this story about the importance of tolerance and non-discrimination, as a tribute to all strong women, is worth recalling today, as is the beautiful melody of "Joe Le Taxi" from years ago."
-Juli Chan said.

Joe le taxi
il va pas partout
Il marche pas au soda
Son saxo jaune
Connaît toutes les rues par coeur
Tous les petits bars
Tous les coins noirs
Et la Seine
Et ses ponts qui brillent
Joe le taxi
C'est sa vie
Le rhum au mambo
Embouteillage
Joe le taxi
Dans la nuit vers l'Amazone
Dans sa caisse
La musique à Joe résonne
C'est la rumba
Le vieux rock au mambo bidon
Vas-y Joe
Vas-y Joe
Vas-y Joe
Dans la nuit vers l'Amazone
