Kery James - Espace Republic Corner à Poitiers

Born to Haitian parents and raised between Guadeloupe and Orly, Kery James — whose real name is Alix Mathurin — established himself at a very young age as a unique voice in French rap. Spotted at age 11 for his writing and rapping skills, he recorded his first feature on MC Solaar's album Qui sème le vent récolte le tempo before founding Ideal J and joining the Mafia K’1 Fry collective. For nearly thirty years, Kery James has been a major figure in French hip-hop. His humanist rap, deeply committed against inequalities, has earned him lasting success: over 700,000 albums sold, legendary venues filled (7 Olympias, 4 Zéniths, 2 Accor Arenas), and a multifacted career spanning music, theater, and cinema. His plays À vif and À huis clos drew large audiences, just like his hit film Banlieusards on Netflix. On November 28, 2025, Kery James unveiled his new album R.A.P – Résistance Amour Poésie, an intimate and powerful project. To celebrate, he is touring the stage ahead of his exceptional date at the Accor Arena in Paris on November 15, 2026. On stage, surrounded by 4 musicians, Kery James will share his new tracks as well as his must-play classics. Charismatic and passionate, Kery James continues to bring together a loyal audience around a body of work where poetry, clarity, and hope intertwine.
