After publishing, the press, or culture with the publication of the forum against the takeover of Vincent Bolloré during the Cannes Film Festival, it is the turn of the music world to mobilize. More than 1,200 artists, technicians and workers launched a call for “resistance” face à l’extrême droite et à la concentration, publié parÂPolitical le 18 juin. “We are watching the 2027 presidential election with concern, we are very alarmed by the risk of the country’s official shift to the far right in a matter of months.”write the signatories, including artists like Voyou, November Ultra, Médine, Yann Tiersen, IAM, Planète Boom Boom, MC dance for the climate, Les Fatals Picards, Renaud, Bernard Lavilliers, Barbara Pravi, Les Ogres de Barback and even Ebony.
And for good reason,“Music is a democratic battlefield”they estimate in this text entitled “Music in resistance: the Call of the 1,000”, in which they refuse to let“impose representations based on exclusion, withdrawal and the hierarchy of livesâ€and run“the risk of being brought into line ». A danger which is coupled, they assert, with a concentration“become a structuring reality, where a handful of groups occupy a dominant positionâ€. To cope,“The time is no longer for simple resistance”. « We need a common project: a culture based on cooperation rather than concentrationon proximity rather than gigantism, on commons rather than monopolies,” plead these players in the world of music.
To take part“fight against this ongoing reactionary spreadâ€and faire“converge (their) strengths beyond (their) stages, (their) aesthetics and (their) sectors”, un collectif baptisé «ÂCultures Futures » a été officiellement lancé in parallel with the Point Éphémère in Paris, according to Franceinfo.
