Musique : Ayo

Since the worldwide success of her acoustic album "Joyful" in 2006, written as a tribute to her mother, Ayo has never ceased to captivate us. Her suave, powerful voice, instantly recognisable, her caressing melodies and the sincerity of her lyrics have captured the hearts of audiences who love to travel with her.

Joy Olasunmibo Ogunmakin, world-famous under the stage name Ayo, meaning "joy" in Yoruba, was born in Germany to a Nigerian father and a Romanian Gypsy mother. This cultural mix, coupled with a musical mix (soul, folk, pop, reggae), is the source of her originality and richness. The intimate, touching lyrics of her songs resonate deeply with audiences.

His meteoric rise in the charts immediately won over French audiences with iconic tracks like "Down on my knees" and "And it's supposed to be love". A fan of Marvin Gaye, Bob Marley and Jimmy Cliff, Ayo's personal albums include "Royal" in 2020, "Ticket to the World" in 2013, "Billy-Eve" in 2011, recorded with Matthieu Chedid, and "Gravity at Last".

On stage, the divine Ayo often extends her songs to make the pleasure last, adding improvisations and spontaneity that make each concert unique. For her, "it's a moment of sharing. I like to see the concert as an intimate moment". Don't miss the chance to witness an unforgettable performance by this exceptional artist, who continues to charm and move with every note.
