Spotlight on piano
Ce matin au piano…
An instrument with universal appeal, there are many French artists who’ve made a name for themselves at the piano.
Enjoy this mix of music with a spotlight on piano, both melancholy and upbeat!
Today’s news from France, mentioned on the show:
– Gilets jaunes (yellow vests) and Stylos Rouges (red pens) speaking out about President Emmanuel Macron’s policies and education reform, respectively. Demonstrations are a common part of the French experience, and some of these protests have been going on for 12 weeks.
– Mardi Gras is already in full swing in France. Throngs of costumed, umbrella-carrying partygoers celebrate in Dunkirk and Granville in northern France. It may not be New Orleans or Rio, given the frigid temps, but the tradition of a fishermen’s festival has evolved into a fête to rival those in the Americas.
