aupinard

Aupinard, a French R&B and bossa nova singer of Congolese origin, found his starting point at 16 when he came across João Gilberto’s Saudade Fez Um Samba. Since then he has been crafting a mellow pop where bossa guitar and R&B rhythms support straightforward, direct songwriting. Spotted at Les Inouïs of Printemps de Bourges 2023, he made himself known with “C’est tout moi,” a track that went viral on TikTok and has put him on stages across France. Hailing from Bordeaux, he cultivates a measured delivery, memorable melodies and lyrics that speak of desire, doubts and everyday journeys — without big effects but with genuine musicality.

After a notable appearance in Nice at Le Frigo 16, Aupinard returns to the Théâtre Lino Ventura on Saturday 14 March 2026. Expect that natural blend of bossa, R&B and chanson, a warm sound that gains depth in concert, between supple grooves, intimate vocals and swinging guitars. An evening to follow closely an artist who brings Brazilian heritage into dialogue with a French sense of the hook, without overplaying it.
