Fête de la Musique 2024 at the Maison de la culture du Japon in Paris

This year's Fête de la musique returns across France on Friday, June 21, 2024, with a flurry of musical events of all kinds. It's a chance to catch up with well-known and established artists live, as well as to discover up-and-coming talent, ready to show what they're made of. Whether in a concert hall or a museum, in an open-air garden or on the street, budding musicians and singers will be out in force on June 21 to celebrate music in all its forms.

Every year, many of the capital's cultural centers open their doors to foreign artists, taking music lovers on a journey to faraway lands. Such is the case of the Maison de la culture du Japon à Paris (MCJP). Located a stone's throw from the legendary Eiffel Tower, the Japanese cultural center offers a year-round series of events, including exhibitions, shows and workshops.

On June 21, 2024, the Maison de la culture du Japon will be in tune with this year's program, with a musical extravaganza to match. This year, for the 43rd Fête de la Musique, the MCJP is honoring Japanese hip-hop with COMA-CHI, considered by many to be the pioneer of Japanese hip-hop, and Namichie, the rising star of the younger generation.

For those less familiar, COMA-CHI became the first female finalist in the'B-BOY PARK MC BATTLE' in 2005.In 2006, COMA-CHI released her first opus entitled"Day before blue", featuring the hit " Michibata ".
