Sophye Soliveau (6Tet)

SOPHYE SOLIVEAU (6TET)

FRANCE

The revelation of the year, the harpist and singer with an incandescent groove, concludes her residency at La Dynamo with a grand-scale concert.

On the harp, she has found her style—sharp, resonant, free, and very groovy. In singing, a practice she has honed since childhood, her approach is deeply nu-soul and R'n'B, with songs that explore themes of healing or celebrate trance. Her impressive, intense, modern, and organic musicality shines on stage: after captivating audiences in a trio at the 41st Banlieues Bleues festival, Sophye Soliveau returns to La Dynamo following the release of her EP "Initiation," this time with a pulsating sextet.
