Newsletter MORE WOMEN ON & OFF STAGE

From words to action!

At a time when financiers are making their support conditional on greater female representation in line-ups, WAX is taking action.

This week, our newsletter highlights female artists who aren’t waiting for instructions to make their mark on stage and beyond. Powerful, original live projects, rooted in a matrimony, led by women who are pushing boundaries. Because the professionalisation of female artists is also a lever for empowerment beyond European stages. These high-quality artistic offerings will be on tour from this summer and throughout the 2026–27 season.

Newsletter ALBUM & TOUR 26 | Mamans du Congo | Balu & Borumba

🌍✨Wax’s newsletter is here ! This week, two very different bands, but the same energy: the Congo in all its creative modernity !

Les Mamans du Congo x Rrobin have a busy autumn lined up for you : two singles in June and September, a third album in October, and a tour this autumn 🔥

Balu & Borumba, have released their debut album and have already some great reviews and will be touring this summer; there are still slots available to get your audiences dancing to the sound of Rumba Rock straight from the Maquis of Kinshasa! 🎸

Newsletter SAODAJ – Echoes of the Lodèr la vi Tour

This week, focus on the echoes of Saodaj’s Lodèr La Vi tour 🎶
Next up : an exclusive live video that reveals new facets of the band. A contemporary maloya that is resolutely forward-looking, where traditional polyrhythms, distorted electric guitar, cello and ethnic flute interact with finesse and intensity.
‘Saodaj creates contemporary maloya that looks to the future,’ say programmers and the media, highlighting the band’s ability to draw on tradition to reinvent the present.
One thing is certain: Saodaj is best experienced live. 🔥
