Shadi + Lia Joani

Shadi and Lia Joani share the stage at Les Arènes de Montmartre for an evening dedicated to blues, country, and folk.

Shadi, an artist of French-Lebanese origin, became known for his personal approach to blues and folk. Inspired by figures like John Lee Hooker and Bob Dylan, he offers a repertoire where acoustic guitar and voice tell stories, often imbued with melancholy and travel. His compositions, sometimes tinged with oriental sounds, create an intimate and authentic atmosphere. Lia Joani, meanwhile, brings a touch of country and American folk, with sensitive songwriting and a strong vocal presence. Her style recalls the great female voices of the genre, with a sincerity that touches the audience.

On stage, the two artists promise a set where their worlds intersect and complement each other. One can expect moments of pure acoustic beauty, where emotion takes precedence, as well as musical exchanges that highlight their respective talents. Their performances are generally characterised by a warm interaction with the audience, creating a friendly atmosphere conducive to listening.

This evening is aimed at lovers of acoustic music and storytelling, who appreciate finely crafted melodies and profound lyrics. Les Arènes de Montmartre, with its unique setting, offers an ideal backdrop for this type of concert, fostering a rare proximity between the artists and their audience. It's an opportunity to discover or rediscover two singular voices on the current folk and blues scene.
