The performers of this 41st edition
Despite a majority of local groups, Jean-Marie Marsollier, who is also vice-president of the community of municipalities, underlines that “the planning is very eclectic “. For example, this year’s novelties include the group La TchouTchouKa, which has been an ambassador for cumbia in Brittany for 10 years.
Born in Colombia, cumbia is a style of South American music that has settled in Europe and France to become the most popular Latin movement. La TchouTchouKa takes up the traditional s cumbias, the standards of the 60s and also creates new compositions.
The group is made up of seven instrumentalists and a Colombian singer.
This fanfare makes it possible “to ensure group changes and to avoid holes”, indicates the elected official. La TchouTchouKa will perform on the forecourt of the Covered Market from 8:30 p.m. and on Rue Porte Neuve from 9:45 p.m.
Another new feature this year is the Bab’ysa troupe, which will play from 8:30 p.m. on the Duc d’Aumale promenade. The chansigne troupe is a beginner in its field. She adapts the sign language lyrics to the rhythm of the music.
Bab’ysa signe is made up of hearing people and deaf people learning sign language, men and women aged 5 to 70.
For those who would like to see or review the performance, the group offers a second date on Saturday 24th June at 6:30 p.m. in Marsac-sur-Don.
