Episode Synopsis

Orlando Louis calls himself an entertainer but, as a talented singer, dancer, model and actor, I’m just not sure that word is big enough. Orlando originated the roles of Scar and Mufasa in Paris’s Broadway version of The Lion King,” roles he still currently performs in Disneyland Paris. He created "The Brown Sugar Show," celebrating African-American music worldwide, as well as the soul funk musical "Blax: The Musical." Orlando has performed all over the world, including in Jean Paul Gaultier's Haute Couture tribute to Amy Winehouse, and with Hans Zimmer and Others. He has a new album on the way, titled "Black Narcissus,” and when I first met him, he was also performing drag all over Paris. https://www.instagram.com/orlandolouis_official_/ Whatever It Is U Got: https://youtu.be/bPQMmzEQCus http://itunes.apple.com/album/id1668662629?ls=1&app=itunes https://youtu.be/sZmpkESfEEo Etta James - (You Can) Leave Your Hat On: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=CSmdT1Si4bo Join us on Patreon: patreon.com/parisundergroundradio Find Us OnlineWebsite: https://parisundergroundradio.com/cityofmusesFacebook: https://www.facebook.com/parisundergroundradioInstagram: https://www.instagram.com/parisundergroundradio/ CreditsHost and Producer: Jennifer Geraghty. https://parisundergroundradio.com/jenniferfoxgeraghty @jennyphoria; Website: http://jennyphoria.comMusic CreditsNo Copyright Music by OlexandrMusic Download Free Music: http://bit.ly/3ikZxuF Soundcloud: https://bit.ly/3u4ehyg YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/olexandrmusic Official: https://www.olexandrignatov.com About UsWho will be the world's next Salvador Dali, Thierry Mugler, or Josephine Baker, launching a new wave of the avant-garde?
