Roberto Fonseca

SUPPORTED BY 

Faithful to Jazz à la Villette, the pianist Roberto Fonseca proposes this year an exceptional project, a reinvention of the Cabane Cubaine, the mythical Montmartre cabaret of the 1930s. An invitation to dance to the sound of the intoxicating classics of the golden age of Cuban music.

If the name of Roberto Fonseca is today synonymous with the renewal of Cuban music, from hip-hop to electronic music, via soul and funk, the pianist is no less attached to the extraordinary heritage of the island. It was in the mythical Buena Vista Social Club® that he was discovered during the first half of the 2000s. Today, it is towards the golden age of Cuban music that the pianist turns by restoring the decor and the bubbling atmosphere of the Cabane Cubaine, a cabaret where the whole of Paris in the 1930s came to dance the mambo, the rumba or the salsa. A journey through time, festive and immersive, in which the audience is invited to participate, as a rendezvous with swing, dance and sensuality, at a time when the need is felt every day.
