Michel Jonasz

Michel Jonasz will stop at the Colisée in Lens on April 10, 2026. A leading figure of French chanson, he has, for decades, brought a warm voice and a sense of rhythm that blends jazz, soul and blues. On stage he returns to the piano and to singing, and to that way of telling stories that is as much about groove as about intimacy, with arrangements that let the songs breathe.

The concert draws on a wide repertoire, between emblematic numbers and new material. Think of La Boîte de jazz, Joueur de blues, Super Nana or Les vacances au bord de la mer, revisited with supple energy and shades that move from a whisper to a collective surge. Surrounded by close musical collaborators, Michel Jonasz strikes a balance between melody, pulse and discreet improvisation, without excess. It’s an occasion to rediscover songwriting that goes straight to the heart, choruses that linger, and the warm musicality that has shaped his career.
