SAN FRANCISCO: FEINSTEIN'S WEDNESDAYS - BETTY ROI "UNDER PARIS SKIES"
Betty Roi, an authentic French chanteuse, will perform atFEINSTEIN'S AT THE NIKKO (222 Mason Street, San Francisco, CA - 866-663-1063 ) on Wednesday, August 20th at 8:00 pm. Born in Paris, her interest in dance took her to New York, where she studied at the Alvin Ailey Dance School. When her travels brought her to San Francisco in 1983, Betty knew she had found a new home. She quickly became known for dramatic versions of French cabaret music and has been heard performing at Bay Area venues such as Tosca Cafe, De Young Museum, Herbst Theater, Cafe Claude, Alliance Francaise, and Yoshi's. Beyond chansons, Betty has immersed herself in diverse musical disciplines, including jazz, improvisation, and Hindustani Classical. She has released three CDs: Enchante, a collection of jazz serenades; La Chanteuse de Paris, chansons francaises celebrating the music that first fed her dreams and led her to a life of exploration; and La Lumiere du Son, a mix of raga-style drones, Sanskrit chants, soundscapes, jazz and classical inflections and the pure sonic qualities of the French language. Betty will present a collection of French cabaret songs from the 30's to the 60's which evoke feelings and memories of Paris, love, longing, and happiness. Songs made famous by singers like Edith Piaf and Josephine Baker. She will also pay homage to beloved jazz standards sung in French and English. The lyrical poetry and exquisite melodies of these compositions convey touching emotions and transcend time, language and the boundaries that seem to separate us. Betty will be accompanied by her Kingtette trio.copyright 2014 - See cabaret listings from all over the world at CABARET HOTLINE ONLINE
