A real auditory and visual slap in the face, that's what we experienced when we witnessed C.Tangana's incredible performance.

Initially known as a rapper and producer, C. Tangana enjoys an impressive reputation in Spain and Latin America. Still little known in France, his latest album "El Madrileño" is likely to shake things up. The album is a tribute to Spain's musical history, influenced by flamenco, reggaeton, bachata, bossa nova and a distinctly autotuned rap sound. El Madrileño surrounds himself with flamenco references such as Niño De Elche, La Húngara and the Gipsy Kings, while breaking traditional codes with new sounds that are as experimental (vocoder and synthesizer) as they are transgenerational.

C. Tangana brought this 2022 edition to a brilliant close. This was the first time the artist had performed in France, and he saw things in a big, big way. More than a concert, it was a real play, more like a video clip than a concert. Some fifty actors on stage, actually musicians who had worked on the album, reproduced a fascinating after-dinner scene, setting aside notions of "good" and "bad" art by connecting the more traditional Spanish musicians to the new generations. A suspended moment, joyful, moving, grandiose and full of life that we won't soon forget.
