Experience aja monet live on August 30th

Aja Monet will perform at Café de la Musique in Paris, France on August 30, 2026. Monet is a Surinamese-American poet, performer, and musician whose work blends spoken word poetry with elements of jazz, soul, and Caribbean rhythms. Her musical style often incorporates live instrumentation and explores themes of Black womanhood, ancestral memory, spirituality, and social justice. She frequently utilizes call-and-response patterns rooted in African diasporic traditions within her performances.

Café de la Musique is a historic jazz club located in the Saint-Germain-des-Prés neighborhood of Paris. Originally established in 1948 by Maurice Geraud, it quickly became a central hub for the burgeoning bebop scene in post-war France. Throughout the 1950s and 60s, the club hosted legendary American jazz musicians such as Miles Davis, Duke Ellington, and Ella Fitzgerald who were touring Europe. While undergoing periods of closure and renovation throughout its history—including a significant refurbishment in the 1980s—Café de la Musique has consistently maintained its reputation as a premier venue for live music.
