Marie Sarah + Guilty Delight Duo
Calais
Seal was spot on: after seeing her on stage, he said of Marie Sarah, “Marie Sarah is an incredible soul singer and performer and, of course, stunningly beautiful. The audiences are loving her.” This is well-deserved recognition for this young artist, who is now establishing herself as one of the most distinctive voices in French soul. Influenced by Otis Redding and Etta James, she has developed an intense and elegant artistic world, carried by a powerful and soulful voice. Having performed at the 20th edition of The Beautiful Swamp Blues Festival, she returns tonight to our great delight! The blues is represented by Rémi, a guitarist and composer whose playing is both refined and groovy. He’s the one bringing the melody to life! Soul is embodied by Orel, a singer with a warm and powerful voice who has been immersed in the genre’s great classics since childhood. For this special occasion, Guilty Delight will perform as a duo, revisiting their original compositions and breathing new life into a fresh take on ’60s soul! Upbeat, melodic pop with unstoppable energy. Price Category D: €18 | €16 | €14 | €9. Standing room only.
