Adelante!

Jazz show in which Guillaume and Serge Lopez, Mouss and Hakim Amokrane (Zebda) and Thierry Roques recount, through songs of struggle and resistance, their families' emigration.

Adelante! is a jazz project in which Guillaume and Serge Lopez, Mouss and Hakim Amokrane of Zebda, and Thierry Roques take to the stage together to tell the stories of their parents and grandparents, who left their homeland for Toulouse. They do so with songs of struggle and resistance that blend Occitan, Catalan, Spanish, French and Algerian, among other languages.

The four artists were all born in Toulouse, although their families have diverse roots, including Andalusia, Catalonia and Algeria. They have known each other for years and have shared the stage, singing or playing, in a multicultural, creative and cheerful universe. This is the first time they have come together for a joint project.

Within the show, the artists pay tribute to performers of popular uprisings and of exile, such as Slimane Azem, Idir, Antonio Molina, Djamel Allam and Lluís Llach. The production is staged at the Casino de l'Aliança del Poblenou, a concert and performance venue in Barcelona.
