French-Caribbean artist David Walters to perform in city
An exclusive concert by French musician David Walters, 'Trio' is scheduled to be held in Chandigarh as part of his Soul Tropical tour. He would be performing at Tagore Theatre on June 19 and has no entry charges.
French-Caribbean musician David will bring this musical journey to city, blending Afro-Caribbean roots, soul, funk, and global grooves. This celebration of music, culture, and connection arrives as part of the international Fête de la Musique festival, observed every June across the world.
Presented by the French Institute in India and the Alliance Française network in India, this tour has electrifying performances in other cities as well, including New Delhi, Chandigarh, Bhopal, Pune, Hyderabad, Bengaluru, Kolkata, and Jaipur.
Walters, known for his genre-defying sonic palette and powerful stage presence, brings a deep emotional resonance to his performances. His latest album, Soul Tropical, is both a personal homage to his Caribbean heritage and a universal ode to joy and resilience. It features acclaimed collaborations with artists like Mario Canonge, BallakéSissoko, Flavia Coelho, and Captain Planet, weaving together sounds from Martinique, Guadeloupe, Cuba, Brazil, and Africa — all filtered through the vibrant energy of Marseille, Paris, Sheffield, and Los Angeles.
'This isn't just music to listen to — it's music to feel, to move to, to heal with,' says Walters. 'Soul Tropical is about dancing through grief, reconnecting with family, and finding joy in shared rhythms.'
