Fête de la Musique or World Music Day was created in 1982 by the Minister of Culture of France, M. Jack Lang. Organised each year since on the 21st of June, the summer solstice, this day aims at celebrating music in all its forms, with all music, be they amateurs or professionals. This is a day dedicated to making music, in various kinds of spaces (streets, cafes, and concert halls), sharing the passion for music. This main idea is to make music freely accessible to all. Created 41 years ago, it has been embraced by a large number of countries, and cities, all over the world, to celebrate a common love for music.
The programme highlights a large variety of musical genres, formats, and talents, and will feature segments such as concerts, interviews with French & Indian music, curated playlists, community radio, experiences, and more.
