Fete de la Musique, al­so known as World Mu­sic Day, is cel­e­brat­ed in 120 coun­tries on June 21.

In T&T the French Em­bassy and Al­liance Fran­caise part­nered with Port-of-Spain May­or Chin­ua Al­leyne to cel­e­brate the 111th an­niver­sary with an evening filled with live per­for­mances of mu­sic and danc­ing.

Set­ting the high en­er­gy tone for the cel­e­bra­tions was the First Cit­i­zens Drag­on Boy’s Tas­sa Group as they her­ald­ed the ar­rival of French Am­bas­sador Dider Chabert and his wife Mar­guerite to Sound Forge, the venue for the event.

Among the live per­form­ers were mem­bers of Zena’s Dance Acad­e­my of San­gre Grande with an in­ter­pre­ta­tion of Ganges Meets The Nile.

Lu Joe, a ver­sa­tile four-mem­ber band, cap­ti­vat­ed the au­di­ence as they per­formed Michael Jack­son’s “Bil­ly Jean” and oth­er R&B songs and Caribbean Steel­pan Con­nec­tion had the crowd mov­ing to the rhythm of the steel­pan.

The evening end­ed with guests danc­ing to mu­sic sup­plied by a DJ.
