PIAFFoundation is a non-profit organization founded by a French-American couple Anne-Lorraine and Yacin Bahi. The couple lives in the San Francisco Bay Area where they moved 25 years ago. They quickly realized that there was a need to bring French cultural events to the US and that they could support French Artists that dreamed of touring in the US. PIAFFoundation is building a cultural bridge between the two continents and across the world by promoting shows in the 5 main life Arts: standup comedy, cinema, dance, plays and music.
PIAFFoundation, structure à but non lucratif, a pour objectif de promouvoir les artistes francophones à l’international. Fondée par Anne-Lorraine et Yacin BAHI, un couple de franco-américain vivant à San Francisco depuis 25 ans. Parallèlement à leurs activités professionnelles, il se sont rapidement aperçus de l’utilité de proposer aux artistes notamment français des relais pour se produire aux Etats-Unis (San Francisco, Los Angeles, New York, Miami…). Au fur et à mesure de son développement, PIAFFoundation, a étendu ses activités à l’ensemble des artistes francophones et à d’autres régions du monde. Depuis plus de 20 ans, elle accompagne des artistes comme Anne Roumanoff, Kev Adams, Gad El-Maleh, Jef Panacloque, Michel Boujenah… dans leurs tournées outre-Atlantique. Véritable pont entre la France et les Etats-Unis, PIAFFoundation participe à la diffusion de la culture francophone à travers le monde en matière de spectacles vivants, humour, cinéma, danse, théâtre, musique…
