Clovis Casali and music critic Mariam Saab have a look at a mysterious project announced by US superstar Kanye West. The hip-hop star says he's to release a film of his 2013 tour "Yeezus", directed by Hype Williams, who has previously worked with Tupac Shakur, Wu-Tang Clan and Beyoncé. For now there is no release date, just a 30-second trailer promising a spectacular and surreal movie.
Join us at one of the world's biggest theatre festivals in the south of France and as we take a behind the scenes tour of one of France’s most magnificent chateaux, Fontainebleau. Also on the show, "Uncle" Charlie Wilson talks to Eve Jackson about his new solo album, finding his way back from the streets and making a wedding video for Snoop Dogg.
On today’s music review, it’s all happening in Ivory Coast. Legendary Cuban band Compay Segundo will be paying tribute to the group’s founder with two special concerts in Abidjan. But watch out, strict dress code is required: Cuban shirts! Abidjan will also host the urban music festival FEMUA, created by the group Magic System. Among the star-studded line up is Malian star Oumou Sangare.
We check out "Sela Sela", the official song of the Africa Cup of Nations which kicks off in South Africa in a few days' time. Also, the new British soul sensation Lianne La Havas is on tour in France in February, and French rapper Youssoupha takes us back to the early 1970s for a tribute to his father, one of the kings of the Congolese rumba.
In today's show, we meet talented Guinean singer Sia Tolno who fought against the odds and is now winning prizes for her music. But also, the world's most famous alternative rockers, the Red Hot Chili Peppers, are back with their tenth album and a sold-out tour. Finally, from provocative lyrics which led to cancelled concerts to a more mature image, the French rapper OrelSan has cleaned up his act.
