Relaxed, all smiles. Lujipeka is happy to answer questions from students at the Chartres-de-Bretagne music school. The 26-year-old Rennais is back home for a few days on the occasion of a residency at Trans Musicales from Rennes. Five evenings, five concerts at the Aire Libre.
There is admiration in the gaze of some adolescents facing the one who successfully starts a solo career, after his debut for Columbine in Rennes. “It was beautiful, too good“, enthuses Angelo, 9 years old. The young drummer was even able to go on stage and taste the life of his idol for a few minutes.
Leaving with chopsticks autographed by the artists will still not forget his frustration, “I have no room for the concert“. The five evenings are sold out. Enough to prove that the Rennes rapper is still very popular at home.
Climb the gates of the Expo Park
If he is now settled in Paris, Lujipeka does not forget his city. “I still remain very connected to Rennes. It’s a good opportunity to come back because it will mix the concerts and the city. We really feel at home and it’s nice. “A city with a special connection and a festival dear to Lujipeka.
And this youthful anecdote that he tells to envy. “We have already found ourselves climbing the gates of the Expo Park to enter scred“, he laughs. He had already had the opportunity to play there with Columbine in 2017. Coming back solo is a great satisfaction.”There are all my friends who come, my mother wants to come every night. It allows me to present Rennes to the members of the team who are from Paris. “
Artistically, this series of concerts is the start ofabout thirty dates including the Elysée Montmartre and an Olympia in Paris. Angelo will also have a second chance to see Lujipeka on stage on February 17 in Saint-Malo or April 6, 2022 in Rennes.
