Who is Aya Nakamura, the French singer who was amazing at the Paris Olympics opening ceremony

If you were watching the 2024 Paris Olympics opening ceremony, you might suddenly be a fan of Aya Nakamura, who performed along with names like Lady Gaga, the incomparable Celine Dion, and metal band Gojira.

But who is she, you’re wondering? Well, don’t feel too bad, but she’s mega popular — the song I embedded below from her has over 390 million streams on Spotify, as of publishing this.

Nakamura was born in Mali and released a couple of albums in the late 2010s that absolutely blew up.

There you have it! Listen to her music now that you heard her on the broadcast.
