French Pop and K-Pop
This week, we’re dancing, singing along and celebrating en musique the irresistible Fête de la Musique 🎵☺️
Did you know that Music Day, or La Fête de la Musique, is a French invention? This uplifting celebration of music was launched in 1982 by the French Ministry of Culture, with the aim of being an energetic and inclusive festival where all musical genres, from classical to metal, are equally valid and accessible to everyone. On June 21st in France, musicians are allowed to set up and play freely in designated public spaces, and pour que la fête continue, local French authorities traditionally suspend normal noise disturbance laws and curfews for the night. Vive la musique ! 🎺🪗🎸
Alors, sans plus attendre, turn up the volume, get your best spoon or hairbrush and sing along at the top of your lungs to all the groovy French Kwiziq content we’ve selected for you! 🎙️🎶
