festival Bruissements d’Elles : Lubiana + Najoi Bel Hadj

On March 6, 2026, at Espace Ligéria in Montlouis-sur-Loire, the Bruissements d’Elles festival highlights two distinctive voices of the current scene: Lubiana and Najoi Bel Hadj. An evening designed to discover sensitive songwriting and musical paths that intersect diverse influences.

Lubiana, a Belgian-Cameroonian singer, songwriter and musician, has made the kora the heart of her sonic identity. She blends pop songwriting with airy melodic lines and references that travel between Africa, Europe and North America. Her music creates a natural dialogue between heritage and contemporary sounds: the kora meets urban textures and faint echoes of classical music, resulting in songs that are both rooted and open.

As the opening act, Najoi Bel Hadj offers a vocal-and-guitar set that stays close to the lyrics. Her songs trace an intimate route through the search for meaning and love, in a stripped-back format that brings melody and words to the fore. A minimal setting that lets each nuance take its place before Lubiana’s entrance.
