The weekend will be kick-started by the annual Fête de la Musique (Festival of music) today at Ouh la la Gardens, starting at 5pm and courtesy of Alliance Française. The major highlight of the festival will be Malagasy guitarist Solorazaf’s performance who, along with professional and amateur artistes such as Soul Preachers, The Disciples as well as Hip hop groups INI and MIP, will entertain audiences.
The RnB and Soul Ballad sessions at Renaissance coffee shop at Pioneer Mall will follow suit on Friday evening. The show will be presented by Lorenzo Productions, offering soothing slow jams and will also feature karaoke sessions.
