Tour Booking | Artist Development | Tour Manangement Les Nubians
Grammy Nominated international recording artists Les Nubians have intrigued audiences for more than a decade with their inventive and glamorous Afropean style. Recognized for their colorful auras, Les Nubians' vogue is a fusion of Funkin' Fashion and Modern Amazon. Their distinctive sound embodies the timeless vibrations of Miriam Makeba, Fela Ransome-Kuti, Prince, Tshala Mwana, The Fugees, and Soul II Soul.
Their hit single Makeda propelled the 1999 U.S. debut album to the top of the charts making Princesses Nubiennes [1998 Virgin, FR] the most successful French-language album in decades!
With two Soul Train Lady of Soul Awards nominations, Les Nubians were honored with the award for Best New Artist, Group or Duo in 1999. J’veux D’la Musique from their second album One Step Forward [2004 Virgin, FR] earned them a Grammy nomination. These dynamic entrepreneurs have also been nominated for two NAACP Image Awards.
Part of the acclaimed Red Hot & Riot Collective, Les Nubians blazed the mic with Yerba Buena, Dead Prez, Keziah Jones, John Medeski, Me'Shell Ndegéocello, Ron Blake, Baaba Maal, Manu Dibango, Blackalicious, Tony Allen, Cheikh Lô, and Amadou & Mariam at the Barbican Center, London [2004] and the BAM, Brooklyn, NY [2006] paying tribute to the Afrobeat master Fela Ransome-Kuti.
“It was an unforgettable experience! Sharing the stage with such a diverse collective of artists… all with one vision… our energy and light reflecting the powerful movement in music and humanity that Fela devoted his life to.” says Célia.
In honor of Les Nubians’ beloved mentor, Miriam Makeba, BlueNefertiti represented the duo at MAMA AFRIKA, A Tribute Concert to Miriam Makeba at [Le] Poisson Rouge in New York City - November 2008.
Les Nubians are honorary members of Respect Magazine [FR] and Ambassadors of Hip Hop Gabao, the Urban Festival of Central Africa, which takes place every year in Libreville, Gabon. Authors of a children's musical, La Ballade d'Ali-Jo, and facilitators of youth workshops and master classes worldwide, Les Nubians tirelessly dedicate their time and experience to education through artistic exchange.
Echos, Chapter One: Nubian Voyager, Poetry and Music from the Urban Edge is the first executive production for Hélène and Célia Faussart.
"Everywhere we go, we look for music that speaks of Culture: people, history, stories. Our journeys have given us an opportunity to cross paths with many beautiful souls...”
Les Nubians continue their journey, igniting the stage with their vibrant presence… AND at last will appease our restless ears with the release of their third album in the fall of 2009!!!
"Paris@Night is truly a tour de force! BlueNefertiti is stunning to the eye, mesmerizing to the ear and soothing to the soul. Do not miss this sexy show!" -- Thembisa S. Mshaka, Author, Put Your Dreams First: Handle Your [entertainment] Business

Queen GodIs
"...if you love the purest parts of Lauryn Hill but secretly wish she would make a record with Andre 3000, it won't be hard for you to embrace this [artist] for [her] straight forward soul aspects and the abstract hip hop angles that she delves into flawlessly." -Cdbaby.com
Queen GodIs is an esteemed artist whose work is a dynamic fusion of Poetry, Hip Hop, Theater, and Soul Music. Her features have included the Trans Atlantic Music Festival (France), BAM Opera House, Nokia Theater, Apollo Theater Sound Stage, Kennedy Center, NJPAC, artistic residency (India) and The Royal Shakespeare Company (UK).
Her celebrated debut album, POWER U!also highlights GodIs as producer, engineer and MC. Her poetry has been featured live at HBO's Def Poetry Jam, Robert Townsend's Spoken and most recently published in two major releases by Afro-European singing duo Les Nubians. Queen has also had spotlight segments on prestigious radio programs such as BBC, MTV radio, NPR, and WBAI.
Queen originally debuted her musical theater piece "BIRTH of POWER U!" (part I) directed by Tamilla Woodard off-Broadway in 2007, followed by an international tour of her work. The tour was jump-started with a stint as artistic director of a week-long master class in Hip Hop and Spoken Word Poetry at the renowned Contact Theater in Manchester, UK. She presented "Untitled # 69" (part II of her choreo-poem series) directed by Una Osato with the Hip Hop Theater Festival on Tour in 2008.
Other credits include: performance art therapy, education consultant, guest lecturer and youth mentor. She coached the 2008 and 2007 Urban Word NYC Teen Poetry Slam Teams which went on to rank top 2 and 3 in the nation respectively. The process will be featured in a special documentary series produced by HBO films and Simmons/ Lathan Media Group in the Spring of 2009. Series slated to air on HBO on April 5th, 2009 at 11pm EST.
