We start with Moroccan rapper Khtek aka Houda Abouz. In a rap scene dominated by men, she sings about gender equality and LGBT rights – her plan is to do a PhD in gender studies. Mental illness is also a big topic for her. She began writing in 2016 but rose to fame in 2020 when she collaborated with three Moroccan rap stars: ElGrandeToto, Don Bigg and Draganov. That video has been viewed 34 million times on YouTube.
We also look at new releases from Grammy-winning American singer-songwriter Pink; Gina Birch, a founding member of the legendary British experimental post-punk band The Raincoats; as well as America's all-time great underground rock power trio Screaming Females.
The quintet recently released their second album “Where I’m meant to be”. Brotherly duo Femi and TJ Koleoso tell FRANCE24’s Florence Villeminot what inspired the album and how they're on a mission to bring the world of jazz to a younger generation and show that it isn’t dusty or elitist but fun.
We also take a look at new music by Taylor Swift, Arctic Monkeys and the tremendous collaboration between Mali's Vieux Farka Touré and Houston Texas's Khruangbin.
Also on the show: rising Hollywood star Lucy Boynton, who played Freddie Mercury's partner in "Bohemian Rhapsody", tells FRANCE 24 why the Deauville festival holds a special place in her heart.
We also visit Lisbon’s famous fado houses in the Alfama neighbourhood, one of the many draws for the city’s annual 4.5 million visitors.
He tells France 24’s Florence Villeminot about how that encounter helped him rediscover his Cameroonian roots, and how his music reflects his rich cultural background between France, the US and Cameroon. We also look at some exciting summer releases from Beyoncé, Jack White and Muse.
Although the good weather returned, organisers felt it was safer to cancel the first two days to secure the site, a move welcomed by both festivalgoers and artists. Minutes before the storm hit, FRANCE 24's Encore! chatted to French rock darlings Feu! Chatterton, who, at the time, were gearing up to play the festival for the very first time. While they never made it on stage, we hear the group will be returning next year.
