MUSIC: The return of rapper Georgio in concert in Dijon
Georgio is a 29-year-old rapper from Guadeloupe. “Rap is my whole life” confides the singer to us “It’s a passion that arrived when I was 13 years old and I was more oriented towards French than American rap. But in recent years I have come to love the English scene. There is an evolution. We will see in the future what I will do with it.
your first album, Dark blue, released in 2015, allowed you to externalize a malaise that ultimately made you grow. “It’s a period when I wanted my first album to speak to people who don’t feel asked well, too. I wanted a fairly dark album that was understood as I hoped. And 7 years later people still talk to me about this album because there are still people who recognized themselves in my songs. Today I am well and I recognize that I had to go through this stage to grow in my life as a man and to be able to continue my journey more serenely.
The Sacred Album
The last album Sacred is a selection of many titles. “Yes actually, I write a lot of songs. There I had a good thirty and I made a selection of 18 unreleased titles including feats with Kalash, SPri Noir, Zikxo or Criminal and my lifelong friend Sanka “
We finally find Georgio’s DNA in this album. “I try every time to modernize my music as much as possible and at the same time I like that there are real guitars, real pianos, that there is this analog side that speaks to me a lot and that I don’t I don’t want to lose”
The title Sacred is a life report “When I wrote it, at the time of the pandemic which us, artists, completely stopped us, I took a certain step back and I realized all that could we lack. I’m talking about friendship, the love of travel, freedom, in what I believe in and what I love the most”
The concert at the Steam Dijon
“The concert is scheduled to last just over 90 minutes. We will be three on stage with real drums, guitar, bass, synth. A concert with a lot of energy and relief. We will find selected titles from Dark blue, Heraand of course we will play the titles of Sacreda happy concert party”
You have already played in Dijon “Yes, I have good memories of Dijon, I came to the back-to-school concert stage in 2019. I remember a boiling hot audience. And I hope to find it on Steam this Wednesday. Anyway, I’m hot”
