Festival Musiqueyras - Thursday, July 18, 2024

On the program for this Thursday, July 18:
Marcel Marcelle 4:30pm / espace Guinguette
Marcelle meets Marcel at a Far Far Far West ball one spring evening.
She, with her magic cello, and he, with his yellow guitar, tame each other, bouncing and mischievously enchanting each other.
The valse musette becomes electrified, and melodies from Greece, Turkey and Macedonia dance their way into our eardrums.
Marcelle: Lina Belaïd, cello
Marcel : Antoine Lahay, guitar

Yoopi Jazz Band 6:00 pm / espace Guinguette
The Yoopi Jazz Band is New Orleans music and happiness.
