The first evening had only attracted 1,500 festival-goers but Folamour and Octave One had really woken up the south courtyard of the Hôtel-Dieu in Carpentras. Saturday evening, the second evening of the Kolorz festival, the crowd responded in greater numbers, more than 2,000 people, to the call of the double event. That of the appellation of AOC Ventoux wines and that, it must be recognized, of the great musician and composer Marc Cerrone.
The king of disco – who has collaborated with Quincy Jones and Nile Rodgers and influenced Daft Punk – made an entrance on stage cheered by an impatient crowd. Ten minutes after his first mixes, a short shower fell over Carpentras. Apart from the somewhat tense organization, eyes glued to the weather apps, this did not cool anyone down, not even the artist and even less the crowd who braved the whims of the sky by dancing and singing the songs of the king of the evening, in the rain.
“It brings a bit of poetry and magic to dancing under the raindrops“, says this festival-goer, in adoration of Cerrone. The other surprise, more positive this time, will be the moment when the first notes of the Supernature come out of the speakers. “Thank you for making me exist!” Cerrone said before leaving the stage.
After Peck (Pascal Maurin, the festival organizer) behind the decks, Benedetto and Farina and Maggy Smiss, Cerrone then left the controls to Emma B. who took the 2,000 festival-goers until 2 a.m.
A test edition with more groovy that was well received. Shall we do it again next summer? But with more food trucks on both evenings, festival-goers demanded.
