LES MECANOS
8.00
In suitable mechanics' working attire, ten singers, armed with an arsenal of percussion from drums to spanners, exhaust pipe silencers and assorted scrap metals, propel their voices through cascading harmonic arrangements of a selection of French and Occitan regional repertoires from the polyphonic singing traditions; songs of work, struggle, love laments, political and religious satires, songs for dancing and drinking. The ten friends declared their intent to form an ensemble in 2017, with a raison d'être of sharing their knowledge and love of the polyphonic traditions with the most diverse audiences, which has now seen them performing at rock festivals, museums, small municipal halls, churches, nursing homes, schools and prisons. Somewhere in there they manifested an EP, some intriguing video clips and have spent summer 2022 touring regional festivals. You need a good mechanic, here's ten.

JINJ
2.30
JINJ is the pioneer of the Armobeat genre, intertwining Armenian folk music with hip-hop/electronic sounds. Sourcing inspiration from majestic green mountains to the pulsing beat of the city, from liturgical chants to underground rap, in a nonconventional mixture of 808s and shepherd's flutes, JINJ is the rhythmic manifestation of the diversity of the Armenian landscape and culture.
