Le Cabaret Frappe

So, I got out of the lab around 6:30PM today and decided to head into town for some dinner. I went to the usual area to find some food and noticed some music and purple lights in the distance. To my surprise they were holding a concert in one of the parks near Victor Hugo (this is the central park of downtown). It was called Le Cabaret Frappe. I saw the flyers for it earlier in the week, but didn't realize it was a public concert, apparently it was playing from July 23rd -29th. Usually there are night concerts starting at 7PM and playing about 3 bands a night, one at 7, the others at 9 and 11. I went for the 7PM showing and guess who I saw, Michel! He was using his bike as a stool and was perched up near a tree. The group that was playing, HK & Les Saltimbanks, had a reggae, hip hop, rap feel. I didn't really understand what they were singing about, Michel said it was political in nature, but either way it was very nice to hear. One thing I do like about the French music is the incorporation of the accordion. If you have the chance, you should check out some of the bands on the cabaret frappe website.
