Scotland, the United States, Mexico, Cuba, France… Quai Ouest Musiques offers a musical world tour for the 23rd edition of the end of the world festival of Crozon. The first names revealed this Friday morning are mouth-watering! Jazz, rock, folk, electro, reggae… There will be something for all tastes and all generations.
Unique dates in Brittany
First nice surprise of the Boudu prog, the Scots of Franz Ferdinand will dynamite the atmosphere on the Landaoudec meadow with their sophisticated rock.
Alex Kapranos and Robert Hardy will be joined on stage by Audrey Tait. The former drummer of Hector Bizerk replaces Paul Thomson, who left the group in 2021. “Take me out”, “Do you want to” or even “Ulysses”, their greatest titles, will be distilled between pieces of their last album “Hits to the head”. This will be the only Breton festoche where to hear them this summer!
Unique date in Brittany also for the group Louise Attack. Obviously, Gaëtan Roussel appreciated the reception of the Boudu festival-goers, last summersince he returns, for a new round of singing, but this time accompanied by his companions Robin Feix on bass and Arnaud Samuel on violin.
The mythical French pop-rock group of the 2000s signs its return on stage with the album “Planète Terre”. A record that speaks of ecology but also of indifference or the quest for identity.
Master turntable Wax Taylor
Among the other big names announced, a reference for reggae lovers: the Ivorian The bitch Jah Fakoly. The spokesperson for the voiceless castigates in his latest opus “Heist of power”, presidents for life and other African religious extremists. Exiled in Mali for many years, following threats in Côte
d’Ivoire, he nevertheless returned to record his twelfth album in Abidjan.
Electro enthusiasts will not be left out with the master of turntables: Wax Tailor. With seven studio albums and some 800 concerts on the clock, the French producer has established himself as one of the ambassadors of the international electro hip-hop scene.
Cuban jazz will also be honored with Buena Vista Social Club member Roberto Fonseca, who has played with the greatest: Rubén González, Herbie Hancock, Michael Brecker and Wayne Shorter.
Without forgetting the divine Suzanne Vega, known in the 80s with her title “Luka”. In her new album, “Before the storm”, she revisits her most “New York” repertoire with her longtime guitarist, Gerry Leonard.
A unique experience with Makato San
Also on hand will be the Creole poetry of the Wati Watia Zorey Band, which will explore the world of the remarkable Reunionese poet Alain Peters, the Malian rhythms of the luminous Oumou Sangaré and the electro techno beats of the brass band of the Meute brass band. The group MODA will distill an explosive folk rock inspired by the popular Spanish repertoire. The false brothers of Maison Tellier will unveil their latest album full of elegance “Atlas”.
With their surprising bamboo instruments and their Asian percussions, the French of Makoto San will amaze the public with their electro techno. Finally, the fierce energy of the Finns Tuuletar will not fail to carry the spectators into their universe and the imperial Lila Downs will charm the meadow with her divine voice and her charismatic show.
