In August 2025, 10,000 visitors gathered here to experience the 36th “Festival du Monastier”. A festival that revolves around brass instruments across a very broad spectrum, from Baroque to Hip Hop and back.

Tarmac Rodéo presented a life performance of a captivating mix of Dixieland swing, rock, and electronic influences. The stage sometimes had the atmosphere of the roaring twenties and kept the audience swinging.

For two days, Nico Russo played guitar and his partner Ludovic Bulcourt played accordion under the arcades of the market square. They were truly fantastic and played gypsy swing in the style of Django Reinhardt. They were a surprise for me and deserved a bigger stage in Marciac.

Die ‘Philharmonie Luxembourg’ (im Volksmund Phila genannt) ist Luxemburgs Vorzeigemusikhaus. Entworfen von dem weltbekannten Architekten Christian de Portzamparc (u. v. a. Arena in Paris La Défense, Citade des Artes in Rio de Janeiro, das 306 Meter hohe One57 in New York … siehe Details in beigefügtem Link) bietet es eine einzigartige Akustik und wird für dieselbe von vielen internationalen Artisten die hier aufgetreten sind, gelobt. Aber auch die Architektur ist traumhaft (mehr davon in dem Link auf eine entsprechende Wikipedia-Seite). Es steht auf der Place de l’Europe in Luxemburg-Kirchberg. Ich habe die Phila schon sehr oft fotografiert, aber immer anders. Hier dann 5 Bilder mit 8mm Brennweite.

Carcassonne - Tiken Jah Fakoly

The Carcassonne Festival is a fantastic, month-long festival with numerous concerts! It's always a pleasure to spend a few nights here during the festival. Most concerts are free – and the nights can be very long.

The Ivorian singer and songwriter Tiken Jah Fakoly is considered one of the most influential reggae musicians in Africa. He plays roots reggae and sings mostly in French or African languages. Almost all of his lyrics are political. In his 1996 song "Mangercratie", he criticizes his country's political leadership and advocates for everyone's right to food. Despite censorship, this song remained in the charts for months. After receiving death threats due to his lyrics Tiken Jah Fakoly went into exile in Mali in 2003. Several songs also strongly criticize the French government's policy toward Africa, which has massively supported African dictatorships in recent decades.

Tiken Jah Fakoly was celebrated by a large, enthusiastic audience. Everyone sang along!

Jédapama is indeed a great mix of different musical styles. It's comparable to a very well balanced sauce where you can taste the different ingredients on your tongue. Here, you need your ears, and you can hear influences from French chanson, slam poetry, jazz, reggae, pop, and much more, and all these styles blend together into a very interesting and entertaining music.

Electro Deluxe, a well-known powerhouse jazz band existing since the early 2000s, gave the audience an evening deluxe. Electro Deluxe blends jazz elements with funk, soul, electronic music and improvisation. The band´s charismatic singer James Copley has the talent to interact with the audience in a very thrilling way, so that at the end not only the band was exhausted, but the audience as well. I have seen them a couple of times over the years. The band was better than ever!

The SuperSoul Brothers are a true soul-funk rock band with sophisticated arrangements and powerful anthems. The seven-piece band had the audience dancing after just two songs.
