The following year, 1983, saw the appearance of the famous slogan of the music festival: “Faites de la musique, Fête de la musique” translated into English “Make music, Music party”. Actually, the French words “Fête” and Faites” are homophones, the pronunciation is the same.
Ngofeen: Every Fête de la musique in Lille, a lot of bands take to the streets, and it’s hard to capture people’s attention. There’s always another band playing down the street… Plus radio stations bring some big names and build large stages in parks with big thumping loudspeakers.
An international phenomenon! What happens during World Music Day in France? The Fête de la Musique (or World Music Day) is a famous and free music festival in France each year on the day of the summer solstice, the shortest night of the year.
J’adorais l’idée d’avoir une fête rien que pour moi. Ngofeen: Fanny welcomed la Fête de la musique, and so did people all over France. That first year started as an eclectic outburst of creativity and fun.
