FRENCH
RAPPER POET TO JOIN FRENCH CONNECTIONS CELEBRATIONS
Edinburgh, 18 March 2005
Talented
French rapper OneSP will take part in free
French culture celebrations on 22nd of
March, in The World.
The direct
heir of French star MC Solaar, OneSP is pure
soul : French rap often has a violent and unpleasant
image, but OneSP a.k.a Simply 1 Poet, sends out
snippets of complete poetry, mixed with jazz and
multi-cultural rhythms and an unconditional
generosity.
Organiser
Lise Morel is delighted by his participation:
“All sides of French culture will be involved in the
22 March event. This is a fantastic opportunity
to meet truly talented people who don’t hesitate
to take part in an incredibly giving way. OneSP is
one of those rare individuals to take out the
very best of French culture, and who is able to
make it accessible to all.”
The event is
free and open to all. It will also feature Samba
Sene, French theatre from Edinburgh University’s
Escogriffes, a talk on Monet, a cine quiz, a rap
workshop from Zele, and much more...

OneSP
is a French rapper,
originally from Cannes (France). Initially seduced
by Scotland’s capital after concerts at the Bongo
Club, he has been living in Edinburgh for the past
few years. His texts, either in French or in
English, send out love, hope or sometimes the
distress of the creator in front of a blank page. OneSP is also not a stranger to improvisations and
to DJing – his creativity is alive and well, in any
language, and with any music!
