Let's take a little musical break today... Until the end of May, there is a music show at Le Cabaret Sauvage in Parc de la Villette, called Barbès Café (after Barbès, the area I posted about a few days ago which is known for being the hub of immigrants from North Africa). The show is actually a musical that features North African songs (mostly Algerian) written by artists that started immigrating to France in the 40's. It also seems to have a little political claim, if you look carefully at the posters that I photographed, you'll see two mentions "100% made by immigrants" and "Made in France" ;-). Take a look at the rehearsal here.
Good morning from Perth, thanks I really enjoyed watching the rehearsal video, a bit of happy music in the morning is always good!!
ReplyDeleteThanks for the taste of Algeria! My french family is french-Algerian. They own a great french-Algerian restaurant (Les Arbrisseaux)in Poix de Picardie. I can practically taste the cous cous!
ReplyDeleteEric - full answer to your question is posted on yesterday's comments.
ReplyDeleteI like to Listen the Music and This types of Music Shows Provide me a Great Entertainment. Music give relaxation to our Mind.
ReplyDeleteI like the Gentleman's red fez!
ReplyDeleteI like this one Eric - some nice local colour adding to the ethnic feel of the area, not that everyone likes that fact, but that's Paris! I love arabic music (that's probably not the right term) and I like when I hear its melodies in the streets.
ReplyDeleteSupercool pic, nicely composed with interesting cultural details. : )
ReplyDeletenice cool picture,i really likes your work
ReplyDeleteLike it! It has given me an idea of what to do on my evening in Paris before the PDP pic nic .
ReplyDeleteVery interesting—and lots of cool links. Thanks, Eric!
ReplyDeleteOh and let us not forget the wonderful Marche Barbès!! The perfect place to find all of the exotic things you were searching for, and for Americans in Paris that means Yams at Thanksgiving!!! Great posters and a great shot...merci!! ;-)
ReplyDeleteI just took a photo of this poster, near Mo Belleville on my way back from checking out rue Denoyez (which was a PDP recommendation)... I was surprised and delighted to see it caught Eric's eye as well! Doesn't the fez just make it?
ReplyDeleteInteresting! It was so interesting this past week to be in a place with such a diversity of cultures. I can imagine that living in such a place would be eye-opening, to say the least!
ReplyDeleteMusic has measurable physiological and psychological effects. music can influence human heartbeat. Music has several benefits in the life, can be spiritual, psychological.
ReplyDeleteThat's pretty much all. I needed to know. Thanks a lot.
ReplyDeleteThe picture on the poster reminds me of OSS 117: Le Caire, nid d'espions. Maybe it's just me lol
