Under Pressure – Nina, David & Freddie
Nina Simone, David Bowie, Freddie Mercury. Three icons, one shared sanctuary during the 1970s and 1980s: French-speaking Switzerland. On the shores of Lake Geneva, they retreated, created, and survived away from the public eye—composing some of their most iconic tracks in the process. Under Pressure—the book tells this little-known story through exclusive testimonies, rare archives, and unpublished photos.
Join us for a discussion with David Brun-Lambert, co-author of Under Pressure, and Aline Afanoukoé, music journalist at France Inter and author of the book’s foreword.
