#LaPetiteHeure By... SOHELLA & THIERRY FANFANT

A traveller and dreamer, Sohella draws inspiration from her many journeys, from Mali to Kenya, via China, Mongolia, Siberia, the United States and the Caribbean. There she crafts a unique musical world, blending French chanson, pop-folk, blues and Afro-pop influences, occasionally punctuated by Russian-inspired passages as a nod to her heritage.

Raised on the music of Brassens, Cabrel, Mano Solo, Tracy Chapman, Ben Harper and Ayo, she has also been deeply influenced by gospel music, which she sang for over ten years alongside artists such as Georges Seba, the Paris Gospel Choir, the Eternity Gospel Choir and the New Gospel Family.

With her warm, mature, mid-range voice, she now shares the stage with guitarist and singer Vincent Faucher and bassist Thierry Fanfant, a leading figure on the French and international music scene, who has over 800 recordings to his name. Their chemistry gives rise to music that is warm, captivating and rich.
