Program notes
Join Roberto Fonseca and his ensemble of talented musicians on stage at La Villette for the 2022 edition of its famous festival! World-renowned pianist and singer Fonseca draws on his childhood to enrich his repertoire, brilliantly fusing jazz, Cuban music and African influences. Alongside his musicians, all dressed in white shirts, suits and black tie, he brings to life with great elegance—and a delightful retro touch—the atmosphere of the traditional jazz clubs of the 1950s. From the vintage images of Cuba projected in the background to the wooden dining table that becomes a percussion instrument, the performance is as visual as it is musical. An authentic, festive and warm concert, to be enjoyed on medici.tv!
