| Page Views: 5,279 Last Visit to Paris: December, 2002 | Street musicians by GUYON - last update: Aug 8, 2004 |
They sing political songs in a true spectacle. If you look at the flag, you can guess for what party they sing.
Photo taken rue Montorgeuil |
|  | Classical music by the street Photograph shot in Rue Mouffetard.
She is a very good musician who plays with an accordion player.
But I ignore the name of the musical instrument in English and even in French. Have you an idea ? |
Jazz band In rue Mouffetard too. | | |
| Pop orchestra (Le Marais) |
| | Music Feast - 21 June Each 21th June (beginning of Summer), Paris lives in music. There are concerts, orchestras, musicians, singers or only groups of singing persons by the streets.
Identical feasts take place in a lot of European towns.
In Paris, my favorite district fro this special day is the 4? arrondissement (H?tel de Ville, Marais). |
Music Feast (2) If you want to attend the next Feast. Forgive the car. Buy a "Music Feast Pass" which allows to go from a district to an other with a sole ticket.
Be prudent because all the streets are very crowdy and some (few) people are drunk. | | |
| | An other accordion player This one plays classical music. |
Harp at Montmartre Hill | | |
| | The flutist Photo taken in Montmartre. |
Fiddle Papy plays violin and Mammy holds the score and protect him against sun.
Photograph taken on the Pont Sully. | | |
| | The double bass player Photo taken near the Sacr? Coeur.
I like this picture because a wind seems to blow from right. |
Jazz Band Even the American musicians are in the Paris streets.
This orchestra was behind Notre Dame, on the bridge which links Ile de la Cit? and Ile Saint Louis. | | | American orchestra on Pont St Louis |
|
| | He sings and plays guitar |
An other political singer This one sings "Vote for me" in the stores of rue Montorgeuil.
His name is famous : he is Lionel Jospin. He was temporarily Prime Minister of France. | | | A prime minister on a walk |
|
| | Christian and his accordion Each Sunday between 11AM to 2 PM, he is in the market of Rue Mouffetard. He sings ancient French Ballads with a crowd of fans of every ages who sings together with him.
Often, he is with 1 to 3 other musicians.
Do not worry to speak with him. His job during the week days is ..... English teacher.
Really a magic weekly moment : see the Traveloque Rue Mouffetard to know why and to learn the song of rue Mouffetard. |
Christian and his friends This day christian was not the only accordion player. Ha had 3 friends to play with him. | | | Christian & Co rue Mouffetard |
|
| | A jazz orchestra Close to the "Musette" (accordion) there is a jazz orchestra. |
A guitar player without guitar This begger is too poor to buy a guitar. He mimes near a guitar player and receives some money.
Rue Mouffetard | | |
| | An other orchestra Also rue Mouffetard |
Singing for peace Photograph taken in front of the Centre Georges Pompidou. | | | At Centre Georges Pompidou |
|
| | Latino orchestra Photograph taken at La Bastille. |
