The V and B Fest’se continues on Saturday, August 24, 2024 in Château-Gontier-sur-Mayenne. Ouest-France invites you to (re)discover today’s program in a few little anecdotes.
Singer Jain draws inspiration from her past in Africa
Singer Jain’s fame exploded in 2015, particularly with the song Makeba. A tribute to the singer Miriam Makeba who fought against apartheid. The artist’s ties with Africa are even more important since she lived in Congo when she was young and that’s where she composed her first songs, she said in our columns in 2016.
Before Phoenix, one of the members worked with Daft Punk
Phoenix is one of the most famous French groups in the world. It is formed by Thomas Mars, Deck D’Arcy, Laurent Brancowitz and Christian Mazzalai. The latter, before joining his friends to form Phoenix, was part of another group: Darlin’. If the name may not mean anything to you, it was formed by two other giants of electronic music: Guy-Manuel de Homem-Christo and Thomas Bangalter. Yes, Daft Punk. Just that.
A former DJ winner of Star ac’
Mosimann, who will perform on Saturday on the Mediator stage, is now a recognized DJ, who has even been ranked in the Top 100 of DJ Mag, an annual ranking of the best DJs in the world. Teenagers from the 2000s may remember him from another time in his life. The artist became known in 2008 by becoming the seventh winner of the Star Ac’the talent show presented by Nikos Aliagas. During the show, he even did a duet with Johnny Hallyday on the hit Oh Marie. Definitely, another era.
