aupinard

aupinard, a French singer of Congolese origin, moves between bossa nova and R&B with lyrics rendered in chiaroscuro and supple melodies. Spotted with his first two projects, aupitape 1: Hortensia and Pluie, Montagnes et Soleil, he has established an understated signature where guitar, muted rhythms and a poised voice shape songs with an intimate grain. You can hear both the bossa heritage and urban influences in light productions that leave room for the words.

After a busy first tour, aupinard returns to the stage with an updated set and new material. On Friday, March 6, 2026, at the Rockstore Montpellier, he will present a live format that emphasizes precise arrangements and the band’s dynamics, blending R&B pulses, bossa inflections and choruses that glide naturally. It’s an occasion to revisit his early releases and to explore what’s next, in a stage version designed for movement, attentive listening and close proximity.
