BlueNefertiti's Paris@Night, a French Cabaret

A NÜ creation from Célia Faussart of the Afropean duo Les Nubians, Paris@Night explores the intricate nature of LOVE and the affinitive relationship between Jazz, Funk, Soul, House, Drum'n'Bass, Samba, and Hip Hop.

BlueNefertiti's vocal styling is founded in the eloquence of Edith Piaf, Miriam Makeba, Abbey Lincoln, and Minnie Ripperton; the sophistication of Joao Gilberto; and the vocal landscaping of Bobby McFerrin.

She began singing professionally with her older sister in France during the mid 1990's; later forming the Grammy-nominated internationally renowned singing duo Les Nubians. After 10 years in the business, a myriad of encounters, recordings and awards, she is now outwardly expressing her inner workings... a cabaret style performance project aptly named Paris@Night.

With her sensual stage presence she lures you into her world of experimental frequencies… funk, soul, house, reggae, drum'n'bass, samba, hip hop, and then… with the sparkle in her eye… she subtly invites you to sink into your seats and travel through time and space to the era of great Jazz standards and French Realism.

The show is an unconventional mélange of ingenious originals and innovative renditions of Edith Piaf, Nina Simone, Herbie Hancock, Josephine Baker, Miriam Makeba, Dave Brubeck... an exhilarating soundtrack to the bi-lingual narrative of her love triangle with Cameroon, Paris and New York City.

"...if you love the purest parts of Lauryn Hill but secretly wish she would make a record with Andre 3000, it won't be hard for you to embrace this [artist] for [her] straight forward soul aspects and the abstract hip hop angles that she delves into flawlessly." -Cdbaby.com

Queen GodIs is an esteemed artist whose work is a dynamic fusion of Poetry, Hip Hop, Theater, and Soul Music. Her features have included the Trans Atlantic Music Festival (France), BAM Opera House, Nokia Theater, Apollo Theater Sound Stage, Kennedy Center, NJPAC, artistic residency (India) and The Royal Shakespeare Company (UK).

Her celebrated debut album, POWER U!also highlights GodIs as producer, engineer and MC. Her poetry has been featured live at HBO's Def Poetry Jam, Robert Townsend's Spoken and most recently published in two major releases by Afro-European singing duo Les Nubians. Queen has also had spotlight segments on prestigious radio programs such as BBC, MTV radio, NPR, and WBAI.

Queen originally debuted her musical theater piece "BIRTH of POWER U!" (part I) directed by Tamilla Woodard off-Broadway in 2007, followed by an international tour of her work. The tour was jump-started with a stint as artistic director of a week-long master class in Hip Hop and Spoken Word Poetry at the renowned Contact Theater in Manchester, UK. She presented "Untitled # 69" (part II of her choreo-poem series) directed by Una Osato with the Hip Hop Theater Festival on Tour in 2008.

Other credits include: performance art therapy, education consultant, guest lecturer and youth mentor. She coached the 2008 and 2007 Urban Word NYC Teen Poetry Slam Teams which went on to rank top 2 and 3 in the nation respectively. The process will be featured in a special documentary series produced by HBO films and Simmons/ Lathan Media Group in the Spring of 2009. Series slated to air on HBO on April 5th, 2009 at 11pm EST.
