Nina Simone's songs

By Sophie Tahi and her musicians, in partnership with EPCC Musiques et Cultures.
Bring an ebony skin on stage, and you'll see and hear Sophia Tahi as
Nina Simone! As if in a game of mirrors, she will transmit to you the image of strange fruits and the drama of Rosa Park.
Sophia Tahi, Nina Simone or the story of her two lionesses speaking out for the same cause. Sophia Tahi's new album is a true declaration of love for the great Nina Simone. For all the virtuoso's musical legacy, for the Diva's emotional depth and intensity, and for her human commitment. In the image of the unclassifiable, multi-faceted artist, Soul, World Music, Jazz and AfroBeat are on the program of this tour de chant. The singer, a mixed-race Franco-Moroccan born in Brittany, weaves a thread towards her own African identity, reappropriating and reinterpreting some of Miss Simone's greatest songs.

Pierrick Biffot (bass), Guillaume Casini (piano) and Michael Jamier (drums) create a veritable groove around Sophia. Their mastery and solid knowledge of jazz and "inspired" music allow the singer's sensitivity to express itself fully in a register in which she excels.
