Makala

Makala, the Swiss rapper who is shaking up the francophone scene, returns to Paris for a live show at the Zénith de Paris on November 27, 2026. Three years after his appearance at the Olympia, he moves up to the large-venue format with a show refocused on the essentials: a striking deep voice, sharp lyrics and productions that range between contemporary trap and warmer grooves. Born of the Geneva scene, he cultivates a sense of gimmick and contrast, linking memorable hooks with verses delivered in a precise flow, and using breaks that build tension without artifice.

On stage, Makala performs without fuss, prioritizing dynamics and rhythmic attack. Heavy bass, dark pads, understated but effective melodies: his world is anchored in a modern, dense rap that makes room for both silence and explosive moments. At the Zénith de Paris, it’s an opportunity to see him defend a repertoire that has been refined over the years, carried by controlled energy and a keen sense of placement. It’s a chance to dive into his sonic signature and measure, live, the breadth of his playground.
