It might not quite have the international clout of London or Berlin, but Paris is no musical slouch: from the legendary jazz clubs to the thriving independent and underground music scenes, plus some seriously sharp record stores, there’s everything here for the connoisseur...
When? June 10-11 2017.
What? Multigenre black music and culture festival.
Where? Le Trianon.
AFROPUNK is coming back to Paris! Started in Brooklyn in ’05 as a showcase for the marginalized black punk scene, these days the festival is an edgy multigenre blowout. The second edition of AFROPUNK Paris will take place June 10-11 2017 at Le Trianon with a stellar line-up, including Yasiin Bey, FFF, Faada Freddy, Laura Mvula.
The festival also bills itself as a ‘cultural experience’, featuring food stalls and art displays (exhibiting works by local artists).
