Yseult
Yseult is the new phenomenon of the French song and shakes up the codes. After the success of Corps, she shocked us with her singles Bad Boy and Indélébile, the latest extracts from her EP BRUT. On stage, Yseult takes us into a contemporary and personal creation, full of vulnerability.

MC Solaar – New Big Band Project
From the recent successful reissue of his three mythical albums Qui sème le vent récolte le tempo (Who sows the wind reaps the tempo), Prose combat and Paradisiaque, whose incredible number of masterpieces revealed French rap in its pop dimension, Mc Solaar wanted to offer to the public an original and new show mixing beautiful productions and arrangements for strings, brass, sublime texts, choruses, writing which owes to the jazz, to the machines, to the Afro-American popular history, and to the French music.
