Gaël Faye

Gaël Faye carves out a distinctive path between rap, chanson and literature. He is the author of the EPs Rythmes & Botanique and Des fleurs, and of the novel Petit Pays, which was adapted for the screen. On stage, he delivers precise, sensitive writing and intimate narratives shaped by exile and urban life, with a measured flow supported by warm rhythms. The arrangements blend piano, electronic textures and guitar for tracks that are at times danceable, at times subdued, all carried by voice and songwriting.

On July 18, 2026, he will take the Théâtre Antique in Arles for a concert that draws on his EPs, his standout tracks and recent releases. Between melodic slam, catchy choruses and grooves that invite movement without force, Gaël Faye brings people together around meticulously crafted lyrics and clear melodies. Surrounded by close musical collaborators, he presents a set conceived for the stage, where the energy of the live performance meets the finesse of the words. A journey both for those who have followed his path and for those discovering him in concert.
