RAUL PAZ
Le Vendredi 21 Novembre 2008 à 20h30 Sur scène,
il fait un tabac. Raul Paz a conquis le public avec la couleur bien personnelle qu’il a su donner à la musique de Cuba, son pays. Un style pop festif et mélancolique quand il le faut, mais surtout respectueux de ces racines. De formation classique au conservatoire de la Havane, Raul Paz quitte son île à 25 ans. D’abord le Brésil, l’Uruguay, New York, puis Paris en plein essor de la musique cubaine. Il enregistre en 1999 son premier album « Cuba Libre », bousculant déjà les standards de la salsa et explorant les nouvelles tendances de cette musique avec l’énergie farouche qui le caractérise. Le phénomène « Paz » est né, électrisant toutes les salles où il se produit, s’offrant au passage la Révélation masculine de l’année 1999 aux Etats-Unis. Après six albums enregistrés, des tournées dans le monde entier, Raul Paz est aujourd’hui considéré comme l’un des chefs de file de la nouvelle scène franco-cubaine. Fidèle à sa réputation, Raul Paz fait monter rapidement l’effervescence sur scène que ce soit pour chanter sa vie à Cuba avec une pointe de nostalgie ou pour faire danser son public, lui-même ne refusant jamais une petite démonstration de salsa. Une soirée à l’ambiance entre fiesta et chansons acoustiques, teintée de musique traditionnelle cubaine.
