Dews Pegahorn

On April 10, 2026, Dews Pegahorn takes over the Nouveau Casino Paris. Born in Stuttgart, a German–African rock musician with Malagasy and Angolan roots, he sums up his musical playground in three words: “manic-depressive dance.” That phrase neatly captures his main thrust—between rhythmic tension and dizzying melodies, where rock’s pulse converses with emotions close to the surface.

Early on captivated by Michael Jackson and marked by 2Pac’s writing, Dews laid solid foundations with classical vocal training at boarding school before leading his first rock band. Since then he has honed a sound that is unmistakably his: melancholic guitars, taut, nervy drumming, and an atmospheric voice that drifts then bites when necessary. On stage he delivers intensity head-on, pushes his songs as if throwing open a wide door, and lets moods circulate without artifice. Between multiple inheritances and a determination to move forward, Dews Pegahorn presents a direct yet sensitive show, crafted for the Nouveau Casino Paris and this one-off date.
