French rock icon Arthur H, winner of the Pop/Rock Album of the Year award at Les Victoires de la Musique in 2009, comes to FIAF for his New York debut.

He will perform songs from his most recent album Baba Love, released in October 2011 to rave reviews in Paris.

Don't miss one of France's best contemporary musicians LIVE in concert for one night only!

What does New York mean to you?
I feel home in New York because I'm born in Paris and there's not so much difference between the soul of those two cities. But still I love the special light and energy of NYC, I like places who give inspiration to write songs.

What is special about this new album?
Baba Love is a lot about the sensual pleasures of life, it's allowed me to share a true positive feeling on stage, and it's not a luxury in these times!

What music are you listening to now?
Most of time I enjoy relaxing music like Debussy and Ravel, Brian Eno, and Massive Attack. When I need power, deep groove like The Wu Tang Clan, a Tribe Called Quest, Missy Elliot, or James Brown. When I'm cool, my god, Curtis Mayfield.

If you could be a fly on the wall of anyone’s recording studio, who would that be?
I would do a trip into time and be a coffee assistant in the recording studio of Curtis Mayfield.
