Carte blanche avec Manu Theron avec Malik Ziao
About this event
A songwriter, performer and artistic director, Manu Théron is a leading figure in the revival of Occitan music and song. Founder of Gacha Empega and later Lo Còr de la Plana, he reinvents Occitan polyphony by bringing it into dialogue with popular music from the Mediterranean and beyond. Recognized by the Académie Charles Cros and SACEM, his work has taken him to stages around the world. An artist devoted to sharing knowledge and bringing people together, he has spent nearly thirty years creating, collaborating and leading workshops centered on collective singing. Now a programmer at the Cité de la Musique de Marseille, he continues his work, deeply rooted in Òc culture, open to the world and resolutely contemporary.
For his second carte blanche at La Meson, Manu invites us to two evenings offering an intimate glimpse into his creative work.
On the first evening, he will present his work solo for the very first time, before being joined by the dazzling Damien Toumi for a spectacular finale, quite possibly ending in a farandole.
Two exceptional evenings lie ahead, full of joy, talent, daring and delight, served up just the way Manu does best.
