Concert organised as part of MIDEM LIVE 2026. 60th anniversary.
Benjamin Levy, direction
+ 1st part
Acclaimed for his unique music, his moving voice, his poetic lyrics and his now legendary stage presence, Avidan presents a brand new show. A theatrical production will showcase a wide mix of styles — folk, jazz, blues, rock, pop, and even rap — in a show that draws on both his rich repertoire and his most recent creations.
The New York Times once summed up the essence of the artist as follows: ‘An artist who writes like Leonard Cohen, sings like Robert Plant, and has the charisma of a cabaret dancer.’ And while this comparison is more than flattering, Asaf Avidan has established himself over the years as a unique, unclassifiable figure, totally himself.
An artist through and through, he continues to refuse the use of computers, auto-tune or playbacks: each concert is a true live performance, raw and sincere, where emotion is in its purest form. A rare experience, brought to life by one of the most memorable performers of his generation.
