Back2Black Paris Festival

In 2026, Back2Black arrives in Paris in April and returns to Rio de Janeiro in the second half of the year. In Paris, the festival comes as a breath of fresh air — an invitation to see Brazil beyond the imagined tropical lens. Afro-Brazilian culture — rooted in ancestry, memory and future — pulses through every beat, gesture and flavor.

To reveal it there is to shed light on its origins: the creative force that drives the country and is renewed with every encounter. By occupying an iconic venue such as the Théâtre du Châtelet, the festival places itself on the French cultural map not as a one-off event, but as a gesture of cultural diplomacy and a continuation of the bridge between France and Brazil.
