Magic Barbès

Musical talk on Sade

Magic Barbès is a festival co-created each year with the communities and local stakeholders of La Goutte d’Or residents, artists, associations, and local organizations. Together, they curate a wide range of events (music, theatre, food, literature, sports, and more) that reflect the neighborhood’s diversity. The festival highlights individual initiatives and collective engagement while celebrating the creative and inclusive energy of Barbès.

In 2026, Magic Barbès continues to “shine a light” on the neighborhood, its people, and the initiatives growing within it.

As part of the festival, 25hours Hotel Terminus Nord presents an immersive musical experience centered around an iconic figure: Sade. Discover how the “quiet storm” movement reshaped the boundaries of soul and vocal jazz through a style that is minimalist, sophisticated, and deeply emotional, a sound that continues to influence generations of artists. Join us from 6pm at the hotel.

Led by WeeKult., this event is part of an ongoing commitment to sharing and celebrating Black musical heritage.

Admission: €12 for WeeKult Media members · €15 for non-members.
