Music Club: Funk reborn
Reinventing funk through cross-cultural voices.
Of French mother tongue and mixed heritage, HollyBrune has left her mark on the international funk scene.
Her journey reflects a wider movement: one in which cultural fusion reinvents tradition.
How do these new influences reshape a genre over sixty years old, born on another continent?
What resistances, challenges — and fresh horizons — arise when cultures intersect?
Join Diane Marois for a conversation exploring how cross-cultural identities keep funk alive — and constantly evolving.
speaker
HollyBrune
French singer, songwriter and performer HolyBrune has become one of the most distinctive female voices of the modern funk and soul revival. With her collaborations alongside Dabeull, including the Platinum-certified hits “GLITTER FONK” and “Fame”, she’s brought a sensual, cinematic touch to the French groove scene. Praised by outlets such as FIP, Radio Nova, and Le Monde for her magnetic energy and timeless sound, Holy Brune bridges eras and cultures — from Paris to Los Angeles, from vintage funk to future soul.
