About Event
After a tour of major European venues, Grand Corps Malade is preparing an intimate original show for Quebec—and the NAC, of course. Accompanied by three musicians, he’ll perform a selection of tracks from his latest album, Reflets, as well as several of his classics.
Presented by Jean-Rachid
in association with Spectra Musique and Midi 20 Canada
And first to the stage, we’re honoured to welcome Yao!
Poetic, groovy, funk by moment and soul as a whole, Yao with his baritone voice, succeeds in charming us with the warm universe of his sweet poetry and his artistic audacity. His pictorial writing – cast in great sensitivity – reminds us of the textual richness of French rap by MC Solaar, Abdel Malik and Oxmo Puccino, with an eclectic pop side – where the musical universes intertwine.
Hosted by NAC
The National Arts Centre (NAC) is Canada’s bilingual, multi-disciplinary home for the performing arts, including the NAC orchestra and Indigenous Theatre.
