Saison de "Jazz à Pau" : Youssoupha

Non-subscription concert

Featuring the String Orchestra of the Pau-Béarn-Pyrénées Regional Conservatory

Symphonic Gospel Experience

Youssoupha (vocals)

Olivier Koundouno (musical director, cello)

Manu Sauvage (piano)

Ayelya Douniama (choir director, vocals)

Gospel Choir, Orchestra of the Pau Béarn Pyrénées Regional Conservatory

This concert is, above all, a unique collaboration between a rapper, a pianist, a choir, and an orchestra, led by cellist and conductor Olivier Koundouno. It brings together several musical worlds: rap, gospel, and so-called “classical” music.

Driven by the socially conscious lyrics of the Franco-Congolese rapper Youssoupha, the choir’s voices and the instrumentalists bring to life the original arrangements created especially for the occasion. (...)
