Gradur

Gradur, an emblematic figure of French rap, announces his big return to the stage at the Adidas Arena. Get ready for an evening where energy and punchy rhymes will be front and centre.

Gradur, real name Wanani Gradi Mariadi, has established himself as a distinctive voice in French rap since the mid-2010s. Originally from Roubaix and of Congolese descent, he first caught attention with his "Sheguey" freestyles shared on social media, before turning that buzz into a solid career.

His style, instantly recognisable, blends a deep voice and incisive flows with lyrics that move between street life, everyday life and touches of humour. He has managed to create a world of his own, where authenticity and determination serve as the common thread.

His debut album, "L'homme au bob", released in 2015, made a strong impression and was certified platinum, propelling Gradur to the front of the scene. Tracks such as "Rosa" and "La Mala" quickly found their audience, demonstrating his ability to produce songs that are both punchy and melodic. Over the years, he has continued to refine his art with projects such as "Zone 59" and "C'est d'la rumba", exploring different facets of rap while keeping his identity intact. His discography reflects constant evolution, never disowning his roots, which has allowed him to build a diverse and committed audience.

Gradur's reputation on stage needs no introduction. Known for his boundless energy and his ability to set crowds alight, each appearance is an occasion for a genuine exchange with his audience. His concerts are often described as intense, where the power of his tracks takes on a new dimension live. Expect a performance where the atmosphere will be electric, carried by deep basslines and choruses sung along by thousands of fans. This show at the Adidas Arena, a modern venue with carefully designed acoustics, promises an immersive experience, allowing you to fully appreciate the strength of his repertoire.

This Paris concert is an opportunity to see Gradur on stage again after several years. It is a chance to hear again the classics that marked a generation and to discover live the evolution of his work. For fans of authentic rap and dynamic live performances, this evening promises to be a highlight.
