    Why don’t we do it in the street / a guest post by Noel Maurice, busking expert and expat

    What better chance, they said, what better chance to put across that strange, small niche of knowledge that you managed to accrue while meaning to do something else entirely?

    Yes, it’s true that for most of my twenties and even a bit of my thirties I knew of course that I was about to be anointed as a world famous rock star and so the most important thing I could do with my time was to just work on an interesting backstory, something for the biography ya know?

    What’s your Story? A chatt with a French point of view: Meet Chloé!

    Since we want to know YOUR personal stories about Fête de la Musique, we search the city, we chat people up, we ask our outlandish friends and we get a pretty colourful picture. So it just happened that we chatted with Chloé who originally comes from France but has seen the Fête de la Musique also in New York and Barcelona and has been living in Berlin for two years now. And we wanted to hear all about her personal thoughts on the Make Music Day! (more…)

  • Your view on the Fête de la Musique, Eva and Miquel from Spain: Do you know what it’s about?

    Your view on the Fête de la Musique, Eva and Miquel from Spain: Do you know what it’s about?

    We met Eva und Miguel who are both from Spain, 21 years old and living in Berlin! We asked them about the Fête de la Musique because we’re interested in YOUR STORY and VIEW ON THINGS.

    Have you ever heard of the Fête de la Musique?

    Miguel: „No, but it sounds fun.“

     

    What kind of meaning does music have in your life?

    Eva: „Everything!“

    Miguel: „It makes the world seem like it makes more sense.“

     

    Which song has a special meaning in your life currently?

    Eva: „‘Tether‘ by Eric Prydz vs. Chvrches. I just feel like that song right now.“

    Miguel: „‘House of the Rising Sun‘. It has a strong meaning for my brother and me. It reminds me of my home town.“

     

    What kind of music do you associate with Berlin?

    Both: „Techno and Electro!“

     

    If you compare Berlin music to music in Spain – what differences are there?

    Eva: „Too many! We have so much variety in Spain, but here it’s just techno everywhere. In Spain everybody has their own very specific taste in music und there are clubs and bars for every single kind of music. If you’re more into Reggae or Pop you don’t have as much to choose from in Berlin.“

    Miguel: „I just fall asleep listening to German music.“

     

    What would your life be like without music?

    Miguel: „I would probably die.“

    Eva: „Una catástrofe! Eine Katastrophe!“

     

    Thanks to both of you, Eva (with long blond hair) and Miquel (left). See you at the #FETEBerlin2018!
