05/11/2026 - Double-bill concert: iAROSS + Emma Lamadji: AFROPLUGGED Rockstore - Montpellier Doors open at 7:30 PM Free seating Pre-sale price: 12 euros On site: 15 euros iAROSS Through his sensitive, balanced poetry, iAROSS addresses the question of origins.

Through his own story. "Ce que nous sommes" (What we are), the title of his new album and new tour, is subtitled "Ce que je suis" (What I am). During the show, various themes are explored, such as love, headlong flight, the relationship with nature, and the search for meaning.

What builds us, what builds me. What we are, what I am. On this new album, it is also the story of poetic encounters and dialogue exchanges in different languages: Occitan, Arabic, Creole. The voice is soft and powerful, and the melodies of trumpets and cello outline its contours.

Always rock and intense, iAROSS seeks the ground and roots. A soft, powerful, intense moment. Emma Lamadji: AFROPLUGGED Captivating Afrobeat-coloured patterns, rubbed with sometimes pop, sometimes soul, subtly gospel atmospheres...

Intense ballads tinged with a hint of new soul, counterbalancing the tonicity of Afro grooves, with the sole aim of triggering a frenetic, severe hip sway!

Building on her rich and intense artistic journey, Emma humbly presents her intimate project AFROPLUGGED, a very personal Afro-soul, music full of energy and emotion at the crossroads of Black Music influences!

All orchestrated by the symbiosis of the explosive energy of the child she has deliberately remained, the characteristic fire of Africa, and the sensitivity of the young woman. In English, but also and above all in the natural language of her Central African parents, Sango.

Emma speaks to us, tells us her story...
