The group founded in 1979 by Jacob Desvarieux, Georges, and Pierre-Édouard Décimus has become legendary today.
Few, regardless of age, do not have at least one memory of Kassav’. By putting Guadeloupe and Martinique on the world musical map, Kassav’ has allowed zouk to travel around the globe. With lyrics rooted in the realities of the Caribbean, their infectious music, which draws from the rhythms of Guadeloupe’s gwo-ka and Martinique’s ti-bwa, has transcended the well-defined codes of Caribbean music. They made their mark in the 1980s, reaching as far as Japan and the USSR, where Kassav’ was the first group of black musicians to perform. Jacob Desvarieux, taken by Covid in 2021, leaves a tremendous void behind. More than forty years after the creation of Kassav’, his memory resonates today through the timeless hits of the group.

The Grande salle Pierre Boulez (Symphonic Hall) boasts innovations in architecture, stage design and acoustical engineering. Thanks to a modular design, its capacity increases from 2400 people in the symphonic configuration to 3600 when the parterre is converted into a standing room area.
All five levels of the Grande salle Pierre Boulez are accessed via the entrance on Level 3 of Philharmonie, which can be reached via stairways, escalators and two lifts, with direct access from the Porte de Pantin plaza and the Philharmonie parking facility.
From the entrance, stairways and lifts inside the hall take visitors to the various levels.
The Grande Salle Pierre Boulez has thirty designated seats for people with reduced mobility.
