Description
The cast of Black Legends, the musical returns for a new season in Paris.

Black Legends, the musical", between groove and soul, a real concentrate of energy
The greatest titles of Marvin Gaye, Whitney Houston, James Brown, Nina Simone… give us an irresistible desire to dance. Let yourself be carried away by the sound of Cab Calloway, Beyonce, via Ray Charles, Otis Redding, Tina Turner, Aretha Franklin, Withney Houston… The 14 dancers and singers, with their Afro haircuts, bell-bottoms and sequined dresses, and the 6 musicians have a great time bringing to life through music the greatest pages of American history and Afro-American culture.
**Black Legends, the Musical", beyond the music, also addresses some of the social and political issues faced by the black community in the United States, such as slavery, segregation and class struggle.
