Palestinian artist Saint Levant is set to perform at COLORS’ Tones of Paris festival on Oct. 26, sharing the stage with an impressive lineup including James Blake, Amanda Reifer, and his girlfriend, Naïka. This performance is part of COLORS’ latest venture, Tones, a large-scale event series that aims to shake up the traditional music festival by mixing live performances with an array of cultural experiences.
Running until Oct. 27, the five-day event will transform the city into a multidisciplinary playground, offering workshops, talks, panel discussions, listening sessions, and live shows across various venues. The festival reflects COLORS’ dedication to pushing the boundaries of musical and cultural exploration, with each event tailored to celebrate the intersection of different art forms.
Saint Levant’s performance will take place at the iconic Seine Musicale, a night that promises a dynamic blend of talent, ranging from seasoned acts like James Blake to emerging voices such as The Joy. But he’s not the only Arab rapper set to take the stage. The festival will culminate on Oct. 27 at Alhambra, spotlighting the likes of Algerian-French rapper TIF and Samara Cyn, rounding off an exciting lineup.
Partnering with Dover Street Market, the event includes a documentary screening of Made In France, a tribute to the late DJ Mehdi, alongside a listening session and panel for Rimon’s new album Children of the Night. Afro-Caribbean culture also takes center stage at Le Trabendo with performances from Chukwudi’s Jerk & Jollof and SIXTION, further adding to the festival’s eclectic mix of sounds and stories.
