Agnès Jaoui

Agnès Jaoui spent twenty years taking her voice on journeys in Spanish, Portuguese, Hebrew and Arabic. With Attendre que le soleil revienne, her first album in French, she opens a more intimate chapter and refocuses her songwriting. She will present this repertoire on 17 March 2026 at Espace Albert Camus in Bron, supported by a close‑knit band and arrangements that favour subtlety. We know the actress, the author and the director—inseparable from Jean‑Pierre Bacri; we sometimes forget the musician, who has long been quietly carving out a path on stage and in the studio. Here, French becomes a playground: clear diction, flexible phrasing, texts that tell of waiting, desire and the hollows of everyday life. Melancholy surfaces without weight, light moving through the breaths between piano, delicate guitars and echoes of her love for Latin music. An evening to listen closely to an artist who connects her crafts through the same attention to words and rhythm, without any superfluous effect.
