Several months after his death, the voice of Calbo will once again resonate through French rap. On Wednesday, October 14, 2026, the Zénith Paris – La Villette will host Calbo Héritage, an evening dedicated to celebrating the legacy of Calbo, one of the most influential figures in French hip-hop during the 1990s. Calbo, whose real name was Calbony M’Bani, was part of the pioneering duo Ärsenik, which he founded with his brother Lino in Villiers-le-Bel in the early 1990s. The group became a key part of the Secteur Ä movement, a significant era in French rap that emphasized lyrical depth and artistic innovation. The event will feature performances by several artists who were inspired by Calbo’s work and wanted to honor his impact on the genre. Among the performers are Rim’K, Fianso, Bigflo & Oli, and Kery James, each bringing their own style to a tribute that seeks to revive the world Calbo helped create. His music and words had a lasting influence on an entire generation of French rap fans and artists. Beyond celebrating his artistic contributions, the Calbo Héritage event also aims to support his family. Proceeds from the evening will be donated to Calbo’s children, ensuring that his legacy continues in a personal and meaningful way. The event is scheduled for Wednesday, October 14, 2026, at 8 p.m. at the Zénith Paris – La Villette. Tickets are available for purchase through the venue’s official website.
