GIMS Le Zénith Nantes 12/03/19 A queue that stretches for hundreds of meters, fans waiting for hours, and seats used only to stand during the concert. No doubt - we are indeed at Gims concert. Named Maitre Gims since his debut in his first band, called Sexion D'Assault, that pierced the eyes of the general public in 2010 with their title 'Désolé' became a classic in French Rap. This 33-year-old artist recently posted on social networks that he wants to keep only ‘Gims’ as a stage name. The Franco-Congolese star of the French scene is as comfortable with R'n'B, as he is with Pop music. He set fire to this Zénith of 8000 people. Gims - his real name Gandhi Djuna - may not have gone unnoticed thanks to his title 'Sapé Comme Jamais', broadcast in countless London nightclubs for months after its release. However, he has served his audience across almost 10 years of a career, and has met the expectations of his fans during this concert. The singer is also a showman, thus combining frenzied melodies and engaging choreography. The artist, who has gained respect from many hits, has also come to interpret them on stage, from 'Bella' to 'Est-Ce Que Tu M'Aimes' which has exceeded 95 million listens on Spotify. The singer has nevertheless managed largely to interpret the songs of his last album Ceinture Noire released in March 2018 with the excellent titles 'Mi Gna', 'Corazon' featuring Lil Wayne and 'Tu Ne Le Vois Pas' featuring with Dadju - his own brother, who has also become an important figure in the French music scene.
