French Latino

French Latino blends Latin cultural worlds, creating the first Latin-Mediterranean music group.

Between Jean-Paul’s Algerian roots, his life in Spain, and the Parisian life of his daughter Michelle, lies a shared life journey that has also become a source of artistic inspiration. French Latino explores Latin music through a boundless prism, embracing Eastern, Spanish and French influences.

To listen, feel and dance to music where rhythm reigns supreme and melodies linger long after the performance: that is the French Latino experience.

In perfect harmony, Jean-Paul and his daughter Michelle, joined by outstanding musicians, invite audiences into a rich and sensitive artistic intimacy.

Emotion is ever-present, elevating both joy and pain to offer the audience a musical experience unlike any they may have felt in a long time.

French Latino: an immersive and celebratory experience.

The Godfather

Born in Medea, Algeria, to a French family with roots in France, Italy, and Spain, Jean Paul embodies the Mediterranean spirit in music. From forming his first group, “Les Boeing,” at the age of 21, through his solo career, to the fantastic project French Latino, where he shares the stage, talent, and a deep connection with his daughter Michelle. Mediterranean roots from both the north and south, united in an inimitable musical personality.

Michelle

Michelle grew up surrounded by music, listening to her father Jean Paul’s bands from a very young age. She studied piano and voice, and honed her passion for storytelling with her extraordinary voice and emotion. Michelle’s voice, her passion and elegance, both complement and elevate French Latino’s timeless yet contemporary repertoire, making the vibrant musical landscape of the Mediterranean shine in all its glory.

The band

French Latino is an atypical group, as timeless as it is fresh and new. The combination of their trans-Mediterranean music, with the intergenerational rapport that Michelle and Jean Paul display on stage, makes each performance a distinct, exciting, and unforgettable experience. Voices, rhythms, and melodies intertwine in the air in a blend of Latin and African percussion, instruments from diverse origins and traditions, and lyrics sung in nearly every Mediterranean language. French Latino is a journey, a musical evocation, that reaches an ever-growing audience, transcending borders and time.
