Every year, hundreds of thousands of music lovers make their way to Carhaix in Brittany for the “Vieilles Charrues”. This year France 24’s Jennifer Ben Brahim joins them to bring us the highlights. She tells us how EDM giant David Guetta had festivalgoers dancing late into the night and ran through the big international names headlining at the four-day event: PJ Harvey, Sting, Simple Minds and Kings of Leon. We also check out a show in Paris that walks us through the history of breakdance and meet the women changing the face of Morocco’s Gnawa music scene in Essaouira.
