About
This 70s pasionaria offered us some gems of the French-speaking song repertoire such as "Paix", "Soleil", "L’enfant du soleil couchant" or "Jusqu’à ce que la force de t’aimer me manque". Catherine Ribeiro passed away on August 24th in Martigues. The show based on her repertoire has been performed several times in Paris, Triel-sur-Seine, and Massy, with the singer's moral support, as the two artists have known each other personally for two years.
As a singer-songwriter, Jann Halexander has given us bittersweet songs like "Le poisson dans mon assiette", "A Table", and "Rester par Habitude", which this Franco-Gabonese poet-singer has performed for over twenty years on stages across France, Belgium, and Germany.
As an interpreter, he has also sung other texts by singers such as Anne Sylvestre and Pauline Julien.
He will be accompanied by Bertrand Ferrier on piano and Sébastyen Defiolle on guitar.
