SPORTO KANTES vs EZ3KIEL
16-05-09 - P60 AMSTELVEEN (AMSTERDAM) -
12.50 presale | 14,- doors

Who else than French Connection brings you such dreams line up ? After Matmatah, Le Peuple de l’Herbe, Wax Tailor, High Tone,
Tonight and as the 3rd French Connection event, we introduce you SPORTO KANTES, the French electro rock hailing from Paris, and booming over there. It will be their first date on the dutch territory.
Real multi tracks jukebox, the music of this duo (originally rockers) will enlight the evening! The Sporto Kantès’ secret weapon consists of a smashing electro cocktail. Mixing a large panel of melodies and sounds, inspired by new wave and rocksteady or bossa and 60’s pop, they stay true to the electro credo. Another clue : There is no better place than Paris to find the best French electro acts. But to label it and make it simple, they remind us the first period the famous AIR.
Their famous song “Whristle” illustrated that Renault Twingo advertisement that millions of people have heard. So be curious, and get ready to dance!
As one good news is not enough, we are pleased to announce you that EZ3KIEL will be co-headlining this third French Connection event. The trio is on tour to promote their 6th record “Battlefield”.
If Battlefied was the original sound track of a science fiction movie, Ez3kiel would be the gigantic interstellar spaceship blasting everything on its way. Emotions and intensity would be fuelling it!
The band knows how to perfectly mix the electro side of a modern and organic music. Longing for comparisons ? Think of an instrumental version of Le Peuple de l’Herbe, Asian Dub Foundation mixed up with sonor landscapes of Amon Tobin. They are fantastic!

Poppodium P60 presenteert staalkaart muziek uit Frankrijk tijdens FRENCH CONNECTION! C'est la classe!

Sinds de wijziging van de Franse audiovisuele wet in 2000 is er in dat land zelf ruime aandacht voor artiesten van eigen bodem. Zenders moeten 60 procent van de tijd aandacht aan Franse artiesten besteden, waarvan 25 procent nieuw talent. Maar Frankrijk kijkt ook over de grens. Sinds Frankrijk in 2005 als eregast op Eurosonic vertegenwoordigd was met twaalf acts is er vanuit het Nederlandse poplandschap weinig ruimte geweest voor promotie van de Franse muziek. Met French Connection! zet P60 de hedendaagse Franse popmuziek in de schijnwerpers. Met de gevarieerde programmering doet French Connection! recht aan de diversiteit van de Franse muziek; van rock’n’roll tot dub tot urban folk tot electro/hip-hop. French Connection! wordt ondersteund door Bureau Export, het Franse equivalent van Buma-Cultuur.

Le P60, la salle de concert hollandaise, honore la richesse de la musique francaise avec le festival FRENCH CONNECTION!

La France fût portée à l’honneur lors du festival hollandais Eurosonic en 2005, mais peu d’efforts sont réalisés pour promouvoir la musique francaise aux Pays-Bas. Le festival French Connection! mets finalement la France sur un pied d’estal. Sa programmation variée se fait écho de la diversité musicale francaise ; du rock’n’roll, du dub tout en passant par l’urban folk à l’electro ou hiphop. French Connection! est soutenu par le Bureau Export, l’association chargée de la promotion de la musique francaise à l’étranger.

The Dutch venue for pop, media and culture P60 honours the diversity of French Music with FRENCH CONNECTION! C'est la classe!

Since France being the mainguest at the Dutch showcase-festival Eurosonic in 2005, little attention is paid to promoting French music in The Netherlands. The festival French Connection! puts French music on a pedestal again. With the diverse programme the festival is a true reflection of the variety of French music scene; from rock ‘n roll to dub to urban folk to electro and hiphop. French Connection! is supported by Bureau Export, the French Music Export Office.
