Bab Ilo

On Saturdays, the Bab-llo experiences live jazz: the channel which broadcasts the standards throughout the rest of the week goes silent and gives voice to the groups who come to play. For Guy Llorca, one of the hosts of "Jazz à la Goutte d'Or", "The Bab-Ilo is one of the places I prefer to play in Paris: there is a unique atmosphere there..." Rue du Bather, its majesty jazz does not play the snob, like in the Latin Quarter. dreamers who explain the world at the counter and guys who put a little whiskey in the tar of the night. “Where does this name come from? Bab-llo is the ancient writing of Babylon...". Once you pass the door, you come into contact or not... The room or the counter. It's not a closed circle, it's a family. Open. Everyone brings their own face, their big dreams and their little cheats. In this strange Spanish inn he is stirring up a hell of a metaphysical paella. Some silently observe the number that others have pulled out in the “chat” roulette. In this little theater, the actors are transparent like the night, when it engulfs the moon. The translucent masks they wear only create the illusion if the interlocutor accepts it. They don't ask you for your card at the entrance: you will be taken for what you are, or for what you show... Be careful: at night, it's often the same thing.
