Review

Modern Josephine Baker, Jessie gives up the banana belt for a snake skin and goes deep in a glamorous jungle of jazz, almost psychedelic at times.

Les Femmes S'en Mêlent, a female indie music festival,  has built up its celebrity over 12 years in France and abroad, celebrating women in music. What started as a single gig in Paris in 1997 has grown into an event spanning across several nights in Paris, other cities in France, Belgium, Switzerland, Germany, Spain and England.

Driven by passion and curiosity and known for its eclecticism and quality, the festival is about feminity but far from feminism.  As time went by, the festival grew bigger and the female scene grew wider. The festival is now unanimously acclaimed, seen as a unique and indispensable musical rendez-vous across Europe, and an integral part of one of the hottest current musical scenes, always providing more talent.  All the while, it never lost his breath or faith,  but rather became better with the years.

Les Femmes S’en Mêlent festival, using its recognition to get cult international artists and its intuition to give a chance to new ones, affirmed and confirmed a true commitment, a nonstop tribute to female creativity.  The festival's name, which is based on a subtle pun, is about women’s position in music, about them getting mixed in and about them getting involved.  Whay may seem quite obvious today was not always so...

Artist

Jessie Evans

Entre performance burlesque tragi-comique et mariachi dance-floor, un concert de Jessie Evans, ça marque. Armée de son saxophone bâton magique, cette ex-punkette (The Vanishing, Autonervous) s'entoure de paillettes et de rythmiques hypnotiques pour nous embarquer dans un tourbillon glamour et sombre. Accompagnée du brillant batteur Toby Dammit (celui d'Iggy Pop), Jessie Evans fusionne afro-beat exubérant, no-wave sensuelle et latin-jazz chaotique, pour dépasser toute étiquette musicale. more>>>
