STAPLE, BEYONCE...
From the 1950s to today, the great African-American divas have influenced entire generations. These women, extraordinary, by their musical talent but also by their courage, their rebellion against injustice, discrimination of any kind, racial, gender or even to fight against the abuses of the music industry, have left an indelible mark on contemporary music. It is to these women, these musicians, these icons as well as their heirs, that we will pay tribute. From Aretha Franklin to Beyoncé via Alicia Keys, Nina Simone or Gloria Gaynor, we will travel into these musical universes which have lost none of their seduction or their socio-political power and which resonate in us with a strange relevance. Disco, Soul, R'N'B... or how the dancefloor is transformed into a place of demands.
