World Music Festival "Villes des Musiques du Monde"

From the chants of the Maroons in Colombia, like bullerengue, to the drums of Guadeloupean gwoka or the calypso of Trinidad and Tobago in the Caribbean, by way of the maloya of Réunion, Occitan struggle songs, or the marching bands and other Mardi Gras Indians of New Orleans, music, songs, and dances are often the expression of social and cultural struggles. They become powerful levers of resistance, accompanying demands for freedom and recognition. In Tunisia, Egypt, and Syria, the "Arab Spring" was carried by songs. It is also Fela Kuti and his politically engaged Afrobeat; today, it is still hip-hop carrying the voice of the neighborhoods: rap is resisting...

So let's believe in great evenings of celebration! Make way for music, songs, and the dance floor, weapons of active pacification, with Femi Kuti opening at Point Fort in Aubervilliers. Follow the news with many upcoming events!
