This year, FestiPoche will be dedicated to 50 years of singing by Nicole Rieu who will be accompanied by a multitude of artists.
From July 4 to 7, the evenings in the small town hall garden will be lively to the rhythm of Festipoche. A festival that defends French song. This year the FestiPoche will be dedicated to 50 years of singing by Nicole Rieu who will be accompanied by a multitude of artists.
Every evening from 7 p.m. a “musical aperitif” with Coco Praline will allow festival-goers to chat and/or eat before the show scheduled for 8 p.m. Three evenings for 3 concerts in different colors with artists, the majority of whom had the opportunity to fill the Relais de Poche hall (a guarantee of their notoriety and the quality of their performances).
Thursday, July 4th, “HYL” and “Tante Hortense” will be on stage: HY L defines itself between song, rap and colorful pop. Halfway between carefree and awareness. HY L is in the lineage of Orelsan or Gaël Faye. Stéphane Massy, a regular at the Relais de Poche in its various forms, arrives with the group “Tante Hortense”; they perform songs in French, which seek to move us by offering sounds to discover thanks to numerous instruments Sounds that will recall samba, pop, indie folk… A festive evening.
Nicole Rieu, Frédéric Bobin and Julien Rieu de Pey will be present, in different ways, the other 3 evenings surrounded by their friends. Nicole Rieu offered Frédéric Bobin carte blanche for the evening of July 5th and Julien Rieu De Pey for the evening of the 6th. She will close the festival on Sunday July 7th, surrounded by a host of guests.
Bobin has a “French song” style tinged with Anglo-Saxon influences. Intimate songs, sometimes social with a certain poetic research and a sense of melody. Humanity and connection are at the heart of his approach. He appreciates the Festipoche, which returns the favor.
Julien Rieu de Pey, known as a musician accompanying many artists, including Sanseverino, who has launched a solo career. He is preparing “a whole bunch of covers for my carte blanche concert in Verniolle with Frédéric Bobin, Nicole Rieu, Christian Belhomme, Anthony L’Intrus, Jean-Luc Bonaventure, and other guests.”
To close, Nicole Rieux should have some surprises in store with her guests. From Ariège, she has been one of the essential figures of French song since the end of the 60s.
