Flora Paré

Biography – Flora Paré

Flora Paré is a Burkinabè artist whose music embodies a vibrant dialogue between the cultural roots of her homeland and a bold sense of modernity. A descendant of the San and Lyela ethnic groups, she grew up between city life and visits to her grandparents’ village, where she discovered the deep sounds of her origins.

Her musical awakening began at an early age: her father, a lover of French chanson, passed on his passion for words and melodies, while her brother, a member of the rap group Cleptogang, immersed her in the world of hip-hop. Nurtured by the richness of tradition, urban poetry, and the powerful voices of artists such as Angélique Kidjo and Aretha Franklin, Flora developed an eclectic sonic universe.

A singer, songwriter, composer, and performer, she began her musical journey alongside studies in communication and marketing. She has crafted a hybrid musical identity that blends reggae, afrofusion, blues, lo-fi, amapiano, and rap, carried by a vibrant and sincere voice.

Her repertoire includes over 20 original songs, as well as three singles released on the market, including Mon Énergie, a folk and lo-fi track celebrating inner light and spirituality.

In August 2023, she won the silver medal at the 9th Jeux de la Francophonie in Kinshasa — a first for Burkina Faso. In 2024, she was awarded the Special Prize of the Ambassador of Morocco at the Faso Music Awards, solidifying her national recognition.

In March 2025, she was featured at Babel Music XP in Marseille as one of the rising talents of the African music scene. She captivates audiences with her authenticity, artistic vision, and powerful stage presence, already celebrated at venues such as WAGA FESTIVAL, the African Musical Encounters (REMA), the “Sauvons la paix” tour initiated by Alif Naaba, the Afrobeat International Festival, and the Jazz Koum Ben Festival in Mali.

Flora Paré is a voice, a vision, a soul — a bridge between worlds. She embodies a new generation of African artists who, rather than opposing tradition and modernity, create a musical language that is free, powerful, and deeply inspired.
