Gaël Faye

Gaël Faye returns to the stage with a tour that puts his writing at the heart of the live show. On 4 November 2027 at the Zénith de Caen, the rapper-writer presents a concert at the crossroads of rap, chanson and poetry, where intimacy, heritage and storytelling set the tempo. Author of the novel Petit Pays and the albums Pili Pili sur un croissant au beurre and Lundi Méchant, he has forged a style both measured and striking—close to spoken word—shaped by his comings and goings between Bujumbura and France. His latest novel, Jacaranda, continues this narrative thread, which is echoed here in the music.

On stage, Gaël Faye appears with a band that blends acoustic instruments and hip‑hop textures. Precise flow, clear phrasing, sung choruses: a set conceived as a conversation with the audience, alternating signature songs and more spoken passages, confidences and danceable pulses. A live show that crosses memories, cities and languages, in a collective energy where celebration and expression circulate together.
