Yesterday Mafo, Laure made history! She was the first non-Korean in Korea to perform a full (3-hour) PANSORI. She sang with grace and power and a unique cheer that brought the story of Heungboga fully to life, engaging the audience through every minute. It was a true pleasure to be there amidst so many master musicians, ambassadors and dignitaries, fans and friends, and surely throngs of proud, happy ancestors (Korean, French, Cameroonian). In 2022, during a YTN film shooting at the Music House, Laure was introduced as a surprise gift by youtuber 채코제 Chae Ko Jay, she sang with glorious verve and cheer, instructing us how to sing a few phrases in call and response, then we all shared a beautiful meal Jay cooked. It was a night to remember forever, as was last night. Congratulations félicitations to a truly inspiring singer ~ awaiting the next performance!
