Lydie Pace, her name sounds like an oratory lyric, we almost want to shout it from the rooftops: “We discovered a singer with a golden voice”.

Who would have thought: an opera singer who comes to us from this Bangui, the pretty city. Apart from the class she embodies, coquetry and talent are also in the DNA of Lydie Pace, which she expresses entirely in beautiful her captivating, confusing, generously overflowing voice, in her singing voice, Calling the strength of the ancestors in the meanders of the African land that see Italy the birthplace of the Opera, Verdi, Puccini as Lydie Pace loves, sing them. By herself, she mixes the power of her voice with African stamps, in a voluptuous mix of her thunders from the tenors to the voice of contralto or soprano. She invites us without much difficulty in her universe. She transports us on an intoxicating flying carpet: guaranteed thrills! Scores to watch in the interview [FOR YOU, WHAT IS AFRICA].
