Faites de la Musique!

Posted: 2011-06-22

This year’s Fête de la Musique  has dawned upon us once again.  Each year on June 21 over one hundred countries in the northern hemisphere band together in one big fat musical fiesta to celebrate the beginning of summer.

Born in 1976 in France, La Fête de la Musique has become a true highlight on the annual cultural calendar with endless concerts, street performances, and busking organized everywhere. Whether it’s Edith Piaf or Bon Jovi you’re in to, there will inevitably be something there for everyone to enjoy.

The city of Paris awaits this evening's annual Fete de la Musique

If you are in Paris tonight, and looking for some toe-tapping action, check out The AB Factory concert at the L’Embuscade bar near Oberkampf. Following the recent release of their album Archie Mule, this guitar/bass/banjo/mandolin/ukele combo proves to be a great night out for those who like a musical cocktail consisting of folk, blues, and acoustic with a sprinkling of country.

As the Martha and the Vandellas once chanted, 

All we need is music, sweet music, 
There’ll be music everywhere 
There’ll be swingin’ swayin’, and records playin, 
Dancin’ in the street

Have fun and faites de la musique!
