Reported – Thursday Live Sessions – YAROL POUPAUD

Yarol Poupaud is a multifaceted artist with a 30-year career in the rock scene (from the band FFF to Johnny Hallyday, as his last music director and onstage guitarist), who has released his first solo album: Yarol. His goal is to integrate, in his own style, all his favourite influences: soul, R&B, electro, rap, and African music. For his first project, he tackles singing, writing, and composing songs in French and English, playing with styles to achieve but one goal: excitement. And this excitement is never expressed more than when onstage. If you’re seeing Yarol, be prepared to sweat and wring your shirt out!

The show will begin on Thursday, March 24 at 18:30. Free admission. Reservations recommended: +377 9999 2020
