8:30 p.m. – Sun salutation blind test at Cours Saint-So in Lille
The sun deserved a little blind test, didn’t it? Let’s remind ourselves of the principle: a short hour of musical selection made up of songs with bits of sun in them, to be guessed as a team because if you want to play alone, you just have to do jokari. No need to be a musicologist or astrophysicist to participate, this is not a quiz but a musical guessing game. Be careful, the first person to Shazam will be condemned to listen to LEJ’s discography on repeat until the end of their days.
