Asfar Shamsi – Cour du Louvre

As part of the What the France x mk2 Cinéma Paradiso evening, a one-of-a-kind concert took place under the stars, in the heart of the Cour Carrée du Louvre. Presented by Le Fair, Asfar Shamsi delivered a captivating performance, suspended between heritage and emerging talent.

For this exceptional evening co-organized by the Musée du Louvre and mk2, What the France celebrated emerging music at the very heart of French cultural heritage. We invited our key partners, experts in spotting tomorrow’s musical talents, to showcase their favorite up-and-coming artists.

Beneath the majestic arches of the Cour Carrée du Louvre, Asfar Shamsi offered a moment suspended in time. Presented by Le Fair, France’s leading support program for emerging artists, the young artist delivered a powerful performance blending electronic textures, oriental influences, and a voice of magnetic softness. At the crossroads of cultures and eras, her music resonated in this historic setting, as if engaging in a dialogue between the past and the imagined futures.

In the interview that accompanies this live session, Asfar reflects on her journey and what artistic emergence means to her today. With clarity and depth, she speaks about her connection to the stage, her way of building bridges between the worlds within her, and the symbolic power of this extraordinary evening. A deeply personal encounter, much like her music: delicate, bold, and profoundly rooted.
