Sharon Jones and the Dap-Kings
Director: Sylvain Pierrel
Genre: Live Show
Watch
Sharon Jones is a tough old broad. Former child of the Bronx, prison warder then cancer survivor … the musician seems to have several lives, each of them making her stronger and more combative. From these challenges, Sharon Jones has managed to get a soul oscillating between sublime and violence, energy and agony. Her style, worthy of the greatest divas of the sixties, made her the leading artist of the Daptone label.
Although she began her career at the age of 40, Sharon Jones’ impressive stage presence and connivance binds her to her band, the Dap-Kings. Together they exalt a whirlwind made retro soul, funk and rhythm and blues. A manned music where we find joy in Give the People What They Want, the fifth and latest album of the singer.
