Grandaddy at the GaitÉ Lyrique
It's a group that accompanied a generation throughout the whole of their teens; a cult collective whose songs have been played as much in teenagers’ bedrooms in the 90s as in Californian skateparks.
After more than ten years’ absence, the American veterans Grandaddy are back with Last Place, the su...

Incognito
A legendary band formed in the 80s, Incognito is above all the incarnation of its founder Jean-Paul Maunick.

Opera in 5 acts composed by Claudio Monteverdi
Recorded at the Théâtre de Caen

La Martinique, the Second Homeland of Konpa
In the early sixties, a musical trend born in the Haitian dance halls swept the French West Indies: Direct Compass or Konpa in Creole. It made an indelible mark on the artistic life of the region.
This musical documentary goes in search of those involved in this crazy saga: artists, musicologists, p...
LA QUEUE DU MICKEY
In the 1980s, telephones plugged into the wall and had rotary dials and handsets with earpieces upon which you listened to the caller. We wore sleeveless sweaters over patterned shirts, high-waisted jeans and bum bags. We listened to music on radio-cassette players and social networks were not virtu...
