Candlelight: Hip-hop classics, piano and drums

Institut National des Jeunes Aveugles, Invalides, 7th arrondissement

4.6/5

About 187 reviews on Fever

Hip-hop from the 1990s and 2000s, from Big Poppa to Still Dre, arranged for piano by candlelight at the Institut National des Jeunes Aveugles in the 7th. Three dates from 4 December 2026 to 31 January 2027, from 41.48 euros with fees.

Most Candlelight programmes are one artist; this one is an era of hip-hop and R&B. Fever's list takes in The Notorious B.I.G. (Big Poppa, Mo Money Mo Problems), Dr Dre (Nuthin' But a "G" Thang from The Chronic, 1992, and Still Dre from 2001, 1999), Coolio's Gangsta's Paradise, the Fugees' Killing Me Softly, Mary J. Blige's Family Affair, Shaggy's It Wasn't Me, Ja Rule and Ashanti, Eminem and Rihanna, and a Tupac medley. Killing Me Softly began as Roberta Flack's 1972 recording before the Fugees recorded it with Lauryn Hill in 1996, Wikipedia notes, so on piano it returns close to its first form.

The title promises piano and drums. Fever's listing names Piano as the live music and describes a pianist; on 30 October 2026 the performer was still to be announced, and the drummer is not named. It was rated 4.6 from 187 reviews on Fever on 30 October 2026, and Fever says the concert is a tribute, not associated with or endorsed by the artists.

The room is the Institut National des Jeunes Aveugles on Boulevard des Invalides, the school for blind young people founded in 1785, in a building finished in 1844. Seating is two zones plus Premium. January is the cheaper month: Zone B is 41.48 euros on 8 and 31 January 2027, against 60.38 on 4 December 2026, which is also the later 21:30 start. Mandarin Oriental Lutetia, Paris is a 14-minute walk away. For doors, zones and the rest of the format, see our full guide to Candlelight in Paris.
