Every year, the same ritual: a short moment of Romandie hysteria to find out what musical sauce the sausages of Paleo. The Nyonnais festival knows that it composes from edition to edition a kind of soundtrack of summer in the countryside, in an entrenched camp where (almost) all pleasures are allowed.
However, we must leave him this sustained attention to the scenic quality of the artists selected, who ensure, whatever their style. It is rather rare to come across cacochymes beyond the Migros Data or an excessively inexperienced youth on the ground of Asse.
“Because who hasn’t heard the single ‘Despecha’ before, wriggling vaguely in an anonymous bar – sometimes without knowing it?”
Paléo wants solid more than the latest showbiz flair. Is this the case this year with Rosalía, a Catalan artist just 30 years old, who in 2022 broke the bank of world sound with his 3e album “Motomami” and its cocktail of Latin festivities reviewed and corrected by hip-hop efficiency? In any case, Paléo seizes it at the right time, before it turns into an unreachable star (or a fading star).
In a world of pop that has become ruthless, the festival has knocked down a prestigious asset which, without eclipsing a well-structured program aimed at at least three generations, gives it – as well as the Gurten in Bern – a fine calling card. ‘Cause who hasn’t even heard the single “Dispite” (more than 636 million plays on Spotify) while fidgeting vaguely in an anonymous bar – sometimes without knowing it?
With Rosalía at Rossellat, Paléo thus ensures undeniable visibility. The artist will certainly be at the center of attention, even of those who did not know her yesterday. But this brilliant announcement is not a cover-up. The festival can then roll out its substantial menu where all musical sensitivities will find something to shop for, from old rock fans to young rap and R&B lovers, passing through pop fans, electro buffs and lovers. of world music.
