Ben l'Oncle Soul

On October 15, 2026, Ben l’Oncle Soul takes the stage at Salle Nougaro in Toulouse with Sad Generation, his eighth album. First revealed by a self-titled debut that established him in Francophone soul, the singer continues here his path between R&B, gospel and pop, blending in blues, folk and a psychedelic-tinged funk. Carried by contemporary production, these new songs are rooted in the present with supple melodies and grooves crafted for live performance.

On stage, Ben deploys his warm voice and a sense of phrasing inherited from the American soul tradition. He alternates collective energy and more intimate breaths, revisits his signature songs and unveils the tracks from Sad Generation in arrangements that give the rhythm section and backing vocals room to breathe. From a danceable pulse to quieter, hushed moments, he tends to the balance between storytelling and movement, while nurturing the direct connection with the audience that has marked him since his beginnings. A concert that draws a clear bridge between soul’s heritage and today’s sounds.
