From Japan to Brazil and from Nigeria to Finland, we are going to travel around the world, take its pulse and the good vibrations! We will celebrate the African-American writer James Baldwin (August 2, 1924 – December 1, 1987), we will decipher the most listened to song of the moment, “APT” (by Rosé and Bruno Mars), and we will relive a very special concert by Björk : the one that the Icelandic artist gave for the only members of her fan club, in London, in 1997. Are you just ready?
With the participation of Jean-Louis Brossard, artistic director of 46th Transmusical Meetings from Rennes (December 4-8, 2024).

BPM – The Meeting
Once a month, Happy Heartbeats of the World stops entirely with an artist, the time of an intimate encounter which mixes his life with his work, following him in a festival, in his neighborhood or on the familiar routes which are those of his inspiration.
It is BPM – The Meeting : an intimate conversation in 3D audio (or spatialized sound) at the heart of the music and its creators!
And what do you listen to?
As Hope, president of the RFI club Kisangani (DRC), and Julien has Kinshasa (DRC) – a big thank you to them! – tell us what you’re listening to at the moment at home or in the neighborhood, under the covers or in the rain, we want to know everything!
