aupinard

aupinard arrives in Madrid after selling out venues such as the Olympia and the Salle Pleyel in France. A French R&B and bossa nova singer of Congolese origin, he has been honing an apparently ingenuous pop that plays with melancholy, irony and a very deliberate lightness. With a soft, chiaroscuro voice and lyrics that turn everyday scenes into choruses that stick to the skin, his identity is recognizable from the first bar.

At Café La Palma (Madrid), on 5 November 2026, he will present spleen. social club, his debut album: a free, luminous project where bossa nova, soul and electronic music intersect with a highly personal sensibility. Conceived together with Anaïs Cardot, Ino Casablanca and Sonny Rave, the record works as a label-free sonic portrait, oscillating between introspection and a warmer pulse.

On stage, aupinard proposes an intimate, enveloping live performance, attentive to detail and to the narrative of each piece. A concert centred on the songs and the way they are told, with that hint of reserve, discreet humour and modern nostalgia that underpins his world.
