Grand Corps Malade

Grand Corps Malade will perform at the Arena Loire Trélazé in Trélazé on December 11, 2027. A leading figure of slam in France, Fabien Marsaud has imposed his deep voice and clear phrasing with texts that recount everyday life, friendship, love and the grey areas of the city. From Midi 20 to Mesdames, via Plan B and the Éphémère project with Ben Mazué and Gaël Faye, he has shaped a direct, rhythmic style in which poetry blends with storytelling.

On stage he prioritizes closeness and a sense of listening. Accompanied by musicians, he lets his words circulate over spare arrangements, between discreet melodies and light pulses, without unnecessary effects. The repertoire moves between landmark songs such as Les voyages en train, Roméo kiffe Juliette or Dimanche soir, and more recent pieces, with a way of sliding slam toward song without distorting it. People come as much for the story told as for the tempo, for how each text finds its place and addresses the audience. A date in Trélazé to see an artist who has done much to popularize slam within French song.
