About

Sophye Soliveau:Sophye Soliveau invites us since her first album, Initiation, in a sound ballad, leaving her improvisations slalomer between the evils and words of her life, brandishing his harp like a healer gri-gri!From his first revolutionary emotions at the classical music conservatory, to the first shivers discovering the harmonies of Francis Poulenc and the vocal volutes of Bobby McFerrin, to the successive shocks of soul and jazz by Nina Simone, Lauryn Hill, Erykah Badu, Sophye Soliveau’s music brilliantly explores the purity and complexity of simplicity.And it is on stage that her alchemy takes place and makes sense, with her partner of always, this harp that she has forged and with whom she plays and converses with magic.The Théâtre Silvain, for one evening, will look like an Apollo Theater and, surrounded by a trio of choirs and a rhythmic bass-drum overdrive, Sophye will immerse us in her story with this voice so extraordinary soul'n'gospel. Thee Sacred Souls: Listen and see on stage Thee Sacred Souls is like a madeleine of Proust, a sweetness at once reassuring and exciting, plunging us directly into the good years of the sixties soul, those of Al Green, Marvin Gaye, Curtis Mayfield, Otis Redding and Thee Midniters, from California and one of the first Chicano groups, such as Thee Sacred Souls, who met international success in 1965 with a candid revival of Land of a Thousand Dances.Thee Sacred Souls are considered the big brothers of a recent generation of artists like Gary Clark Jr. and Black Pumas. Their start in 2019 opened, thanks to their methodical respect for soul, the forgotten doors of a music essential to the soul, giving back to a wider audience and more mainstream media the desire to discover the spirit and groove of soul.Each concert is like a unique mass and the Silvain Theatre will, for the occasion, display the colors of the Triple Rock Baptist Church, famous groovy church in the movie The Blues Brothers and the famous hypnotic scene of James Brown!So, come groover and dance to the sounds of Thee Sacred Souls, the light of the soul moment!...
