As part of the festival’s offerings, acclaimed French electronic DJ RONI, who garnered recognition following her remarkable debut at the Paris Boiler Room, will grace the stage with an enthralling fusion of jungle, breaks, techno, and club music during her tour across India, said the organisers.
Additionally, two young hip-hop artists, MC Kaur (Manmeet Kaur) and Mister Colfer (Flavien), will collaborate with the Alliance Française network to promote the values of sustainability and inclusivity through their performances, they said.
Simultaneously, Fête de la Musique will be showcased on the online portal fetedelamusique.in, serving as a platform for curated community playlists, and community radio broadcasts, and as a submission portal for offline events.
