Carte Blanche à Natascha Rogers

Natascha Rogers will take carte blanche at Le Baiser Salé in Paris on 24 May 2026. A singer, percussionist and pianist born in the Netherlands, she grew up between Breda, Belgium, California and Bordeaux. Her practice began at the piano, nourished by influences ranging from Chick Corea to Yann Tiersen, before the spark of her father’s congas. Trained with Manding and Afro-Cuban masters, she has crafted a language in which voice, percussion and keyboards advance together, sitting between folk, soul, jazz and Afro-Caribbean traditions.

Based in France, Natascha Rogers refines this organic, rhythmic sound within a focused creative setting, extended by Onaida, her album released in 2024. For this carte blanche she promises a set where intimate songs meet Afro-Atlantic pulses, with precise rhythmic work and acoustic textures that breathe — a format that gives full space to her compositions, her grooves and the dialogue between voice, piano and percussion.
