Cléa Vincent - Tropical Speakeasy

Cléa Vincent and her musicians are set to take the stage at the Théâtre de l'Alliance Française, one of the capital's best-kept secrets! Summer is off to a good start… Get swept up in the rhythm of a rare, singular and utterly free artist. For fifteen years, Cléa Vincent has been performing with that childlike fervour and that passion for pop and its elasticity, from the first Parisian bars right up to the Bataclan. Inseparable from the French independent scene, she cultivates a spontaneous, candid and sunny music, nourished by numerous collaborations (Kim Giani, Jeanne Balibar, Jacques, João Selva, Les Clopes…) and by travels that broaden her inspiration, notably in South America with the series of EPs Tropi-Cléa. After three albums, including Advitam Æternamour, she unveils Speakeasy, an intimate record built around the piano that affirms her artistic freedom more than ever. Three years after closing the Festival of the Alliance française de Paris's 140th anniversary with a dazzling concert at the Studio de l'Ermitage, Cléa Vincent will perform with her musicians on the legendary stage of the Théâtre, for our great pleasure.

Line-up: Cléa Vincent: piano, lead vocals, Baptiste Dosdat: bass, guitar, backing vocals, Raphaël Thyss: trumpet, bugle, organ, percussion, backing vocals, Raphaël Léger: drums, in association with Zamora Productions.

Festive atmosphere and bar in the Théâtre's courtyard, from 6pm!
