\u201cKabeaush\u00e9 could be anything<\/em>\u201d says the Nairboi experimental pop artist under the shade of a palm tree on the Reunion Islands. \u201cKabeaush\u00e9 could be a unicorn, Kabeaush\u00e9 could be a rainbow, Kabeaush\u00e9 could be an owl, Kabeaush\u00e9 could be a vampire!<\/em>\u201d he continues describing the opening to his critically acclaimed debut performance at the IOMMa festival. An endearing figure full of smiles and good grace, Kabeaush\u00e9 is one of Nyege Nyege\u2019s latest additions to the roster. Although this artist is paving his own way in a collective known for aggressive club music, diverting to a sound that is more open and inviting though just as experimental and curious. Kabeaush\u00e9 is also a talented visual artist which adds to his multifaceted identity with a digital-Basquiat flavor like that of the piece below. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

If the performance doesn\u2019t win you over, Kabeaush\u00e9\u2019s post-stage video call with his mom will. It\u2019s a moment of pure joy, Kabeaush\u00e9 covered in sweat and accompanied by one of Nyege Nyege\u2019s founders Derek Debru, as they assure her that her son absolutely killed it. Kabeaush\u00e9 promises to bring home the Grammy for the collective and say, \u201cwe did it. Now we can go home and fucking chill<\/em>\u201d. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cThe Sh\u00e9 came to play,<\/em>\u201d he says, using a derivative nickname. \u201cI don\u2019t care if you\u2019re the CEO of Coca-Cola, when the Sh\u00e9 is in town you better play!<\/em>\u201d Seeing Kabeaush\u00e9 run through the crowd during his performance and look glowingly into the camera, we\u2019re inclined to believe him. Kabeaush\u00e9 will be taking the stage in Paris this July 16th at the first edition of Nyege Nyege Festival Paris to continue to slowly unveil his still unreleased catalog.\u00a0
There is music on the way, but for a project that has a Grammy in their sights, there\u2019s no rush. There will be much more to see and hear from this young artist with electric energy. You can get a taste of one of Kabeaush\u00e9\u2019s available tracks that came out on Nyege Nyege\u2019s Music for the Eagles<\/em> tape (which he designed the cover for) called \u201cAndnowawordfromoursponsors\u201d. It\u2019s channeling the alternative vibes of a Yves Tumor or a Tyler, the Creator and promises an expansive universe full of wit and creative courage.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
