Festival La Rue Des Artistes

Bob Marley was such a hotbed for musical purity and creation that the children who were spawned from him were apparently given special, sonically-enhanced genes. One of his children, Julian, was especially adept with his powers and managed to create a certain amount of respectable buzz around his music that few Marley children have given rise to. Julian released his first album in 1996 and since then he has been busy on the road, where he delivers his charismatically rousing tunes to throngs of eager audiences around the world. ^French band Les Fatals Picards ("The fatal man from Picardy" in English) is punk and rock band that has been making a significant impact on the French punk scene since the 1990s. Distinctly left-wing in their politics, the band often writes satirical, political music. The band also covers topics on humanitarian aid, sexuality, and colonization.^Samuël Adebiyi, who performs and releases music under his Féfé moniker, is a French singer/songwriter who is known for interjecting hip-hop inspired lyrical rhyming styles into his music. Beginning his career in the late 1990s as a member of the popular French rap collective Saïan Supa Crew, Féfé would eventually break away and launch a solo career, starting with his 2009 debut album, Jeune à la retraite. Unafraid of blending genres that people might imagine antipodes of one another, an average song by Féfé will often times combine Carribean folk, with modern rap and acoustic roots music to create a rich sonic amalgam. ^^^^^
