Concert / ÂmeS Debout (Jann Halexander chante Catherine Ribeiro)

As part of the Monte le Son festival devoted to women in music, Jann Halexander performs the songs of Catherine Ribeiro in his own way, accompanied by his musicians.

This fiery figure of the 1970s gave us a handful of gems of French-language song, such as "Paix", "Soleil", "L'enfant du soleil couchant" or "Jusqu'à ce que la force de t'aimer me manque". Catherine Ribeiro passed away on 24 August in Martigues.

The show built around her repertoire has been performed several times in Paris, Triel-sur-Seine and Massy, with the singer's moral support; for the past two years, the two artists have known each other personally.

As a singer-songwriter, Jann Halexander is responsible for songs that are half acid, half tender, such as "Le poisson dans mon assiette", "A Table" and "Rester par Habitude", which this Franco-Gabonese singer-poet has been performing for more than twenty years on stages in France, Belgium and Germany.

As an interpreter, he has also sung texts by other women singers, such as Anne Sylvestre and Pauline Julien. He will be accompanied by Bertrand Ferrier on piano and Sébastyen Defiolle on guitar.
