The Alliance Française de Pasadena, the Alianza Francesa de Mexicali and the Alliance Française de San Diego are excited to bring you the first “Fête de la Musique Californienne” where musicians from all around the world will share their music with you across the screen! Each musician will play 2-3 songs or medleys of their choice. Let’s discover the artists who will perform on June 20 from 5pm to 8pm on Facebook Live on the page of one of these Alliances!
Saori Jo
She is a French artist who lives in Eastern France. Her singing style navigates between Paloma Faith and Kate Bush. While never deviating too far from the mainstream, there’s an enchanting quirkiness about her album as it moves from Bush/Amos piano territory to dabbling in elements of European folk, blues and jazz. For the Fête de la Musique Californienne, she will be accompanied on the guitar by Miguel Ruiz and on the bass guitar by Franck Schmidt.
She is currently popular because she made a parody of two songs from Frozen about the confinement and the end of the stay-at-home order in France. She denounces the fact that many people are carefree and want to waste their money on frivolous things despite the hardship they recently lived during the confinement due to COVID-19. She sings in French and in English.
