From the global success of "Waka Waka" to her forthcoming second solo album "People Power", South Africa's Zolani Mahola has built a career around the power of music to bring people together.
This week on arts24, we're bringing you a double dose of European punk. Elias Bender Rønnenfelt is a singer with Copenhagen's finest post-punk export, Iceage. The group is currently touring Europe, and he is stopping off in Paris this week to play the Pitchfork festival solo. We also welcome Chris Hughes from Fat Dog. Born in South London in 2020 during lockdown, Fat Dog have just released their second album "Cancel Me (I'm Tired)", which will thrill synth lovers and punk rockers alike. They are currently touring France and Europe.
In this edition of arts24, "Le Fantôme de l'Opéra" returns to French cinemas in a contemporary reinterpretation starring Deva Cassel and Romain Duris. We take a closer look.
Booker Prize-winning author Ian McEwan sits down with Olivia Salazar-Winspear to discuss the 22nd century society he created in "What We Can Know", as his latest novel is translated into French. While his characters grapple with the aftermath of the great "derangement", in a world where many of the 21st century's capital cities have been submerged, we discuss our upcoming reckoning with the climate crisis.
Four very different films arrive in French cinemas this week, and arts24 critic Emma Jones has seen them all. Martin McDonagh's "Wild Horse Nine" reunites him with an A-list cast. John Malkovich, who won the Volpi Cup for Best Actor at Venice, plays a dying CIA agent in 1973 Chile, alongside Sam Rockwell. Emma calls it her favourite McDonagh film since "In Bruges" and a must see.
Canadian electroclash artist Peaches has been delighting, amusing and shocking music lovers and festivalgoers for the past three decades. Her shows are also a safe space for all genders and sexualities, although less so if you are averse to crowd surfing, extravagant pubic wigs and body-augmenting costumes.
In this arts24 music show, Jennifer Ben Brahim brings us a roundup of the big music releases and news of the week, from US rapper Macklemore's charity stadium shows to raise money for Palestine, to the return of R'n'B crooner John Legend with his 11th album "Muse" – his first collaboration with close friend Pharrell Williams.
Every year the art and design fair AKAA, or "Also Known as Africa", brings dozens of African and Afro-descendant artists to the French capital. As the 11th edition gets underway, we welcome Nigerian painter Midegbeyan Ojisua and South African artist Olivié Keck.
