BB Ange delivers emotional and cross-cultural performance “Love Des Mots” at Montmartre Galabru Theatre in Paris

On Friday, April 17, Paris hosted an emotionally charged and musically rich performance as singer BB Ange took the stage at the historic Montmartre Galabru Theatre for her show titled “Love Des Mots.” Presented by Jacques Jakubowicz, widely known as Jacky from the iconic Club Dorothée TV era, the evening blended pop music, cultural tribute, and artistic storytelling.

The show ran for approximately 1 hour and 15 minutes, featuring a setlist of 12 songs from her latest album, alongside surprise guest appearances that elevated the atmosphere into a dynamic and celebratory musical experience.

A multicultural artist with a distinctive voice

BB Ange, a singer of Cameroonian origin and sister of fellow artist Billy Obam, brings a unique artistic identity shaped by multiple cultural influences.

Her musical style combines pop, variety, and dance elements, enriched with African rhythms and Afrobeat-inspired textures. Her vocal delivery is particularly distinctive—soft, intimate, and often described as whisper-like, creating what many listeners perceive as emotional “vocal caresses.”

Her artistic inspirations are wide-ranging and include David Bowie, Brigitte Bardot, Joséphine Baker, Fela Kuti, Manu Dibango, M, and even cinematic references such as Wim Wenders.

The album Love Des Mots reflects her personal and family history, where music played a central role in her upbringing alongside her brother Billy Obam, who joined her on stage during the performance.

A tribute-driven live experience

A defining feature of the concert was BB Ange’s tribute segment, where she honored four major cultural icons through reinterpretations of their work:

• “La Madrague” by Brigitte Bardot
• “J’ai deux Amours” by Joséphine Baker
• “Syracuse” by Henri Salvador
• “Comme dans les films de Wim Wenders” inspired by Wim Wenders

Each performance was reimagined through her own artistic lens, blending respect for the originals with her personal musical identity.

Surprise guests energizing the stage

The evening featured several surprise guests who contributed to the high-energy atmosphere:

Alain Turban, Low Lov, Christian Gautron, and Jacques Jakubowicz (Jacky from Club Dorothée) all joined the event, creating spontaneous musical moments and audience engagement.

These appearances transformed the concert into a collective celebration rather than a standard solo performance.

A cultural bridge between Africa and Europe

Beyond entertainment, “Love Des Mots” positions BB Ange as an artist working at the intersection of cultures.

Her performance reflects a broader artistic vision that connects African musical heritage with European pop and chanson traditions. The result is a hybrid soundscape that feels both contemporary and rooted in musical history.

The emotional response from the Paris audience confirmed the strength of this artistic direction.

A rising artistic identity

With this performance, BB Ange continues to build a recognizable identity within the international music scene. Her approach—focused on emotion, memory, and cultural tribute—places her in a growing category of artists who use live performance as a narrative and emotional experience rather than simple entertainment.

“Love Des Mots” stands as a clear statement of artistic intent: music as a universal language connecting cultures, generations, and artistic legacies.
