Friday February 9, 2024 from 22:30 p.m. until 1 a.m., prepare yourself to live an experience where magic merges with boundless creativity, to present a spectacle that transcends the ordinary.
Since its emergence in 2017 in Marseille, the Maraboutage collective has worked to bewitch minds and set dance floors ablaze.
All versatile, the members of this crew lead their audience into insane DJ sets, infused with Afro and Latino influences. Their intoxicating dances, from twerk to krump to voguing, transform each event into a unique celebration, where the extravagance of its members and their costumes compete with the power of the choreography.

But Maraboutage is much more than just a festive celebration. It is a true declaration of intention for the defense of a “safe space”, a caring place where everyone can be fully themselves without fear of judgment. The fight against intolerance is carried out ardently, through the evocative power of dance.
The contagious euphoria that grips the public and the members of the collective has to be seen to be believed. Together they transcend the boundaries of the performing arts, elevating the celebration to a new level of artistic expression.
This Friday, on the dancefloor of the great Halle du Carreau du Temple, Maëlle Chabrillat, Maryam Kaba, Barak Nadhamou, and Marie Khane Tomei as well as Benjamin Clément and Geoffrey Langlet, on the decks, will provide a show of crazy energy, for a “ Total maraboutage.”

NOW ON THE MOOD MARSH
Divine brunch at the foot of Notre-Dame
Of course, officially, it is not the Marais. But at Son de la Terre, a barge recently moored at the Montebello quay (5th), the 4th arrondissement is in sight. Moreover, this one is incredible: on one side, it is Notre-Dame flooded with sunlight; on the other, the quays, the book sellers, the walkers, the joggers.
Saka, a cocktail bar like in Tokyo
Here is an address which gives the measure of the transformation of the Marais. And it's enough to silence the grumpy people whose mantra is: “It was better before…” No, everything was not better “before” in the Marais. Besides, there was no American bar like Saka, which cultivates a form of excellence that can only be found in Japan.
Jazz at 38Riv: The highlights of May
The only jazz club in the Marais, 38Riv is the temple of cool and swing. Rue de Rivoli, between Saint-Paul and Hôtel de Ville, its vaulted cellars are the home base of the new jazz scene. Every evening, the magic happens.
