Ethnically and Culturally Inspired Music
ABOUT
Foisonnement des idées et diversité des émotions sont, depuis 1996, la marque déposée de ce festival incontournable ! Ici, la programmation croise ouvertement les esthétiques, les héritages musicaux et les mouvements les plus récents, l’espace et le temps ; valorise diversité culturelle et particularismes. Pleinement enraciné dans un territoire naturellement tourné vers la Méditerranée et ouvert au monde, les Suds offre une tribune d’exception à la création actuelle. Assumant pleinement son ancrage méridional, l’imposant programme de ce festival tisse une identité musicale raffinée, dans un cadre qui ne l’est pas moins ! Sublimant un patrimoine architectural unique, les plus belles voix et sonorités du monde - des plus connues aux talents en découverte - s’invitent au cœur de la belle cité provençale qui devient, sept jours et six nuits durant, ville-monde. Avant les prestigieux concerts du soir sur la scène majestueuse du Théâtre antique, les sublimes Moments Précieux dans la Cour de l’Archevêché et Les Nuits des Forges qui électrisent l’ancienne friche industrielle des Ateliers, chaque heure de la journée décline son instant de grâce. De 10h à 4h du matin, Ptits’déj de la Radio, Apéros-découvertes, Siestes Musicales, Salons de Musique, Scènes en Ville, rencontres avec les artistes, documentaires, stages ou master classes et autres détours buissonniers prolongent un art de vivre propre à tous les Suds !
Drawing from world music all that is unique, and in the end, shared in common, this event at once festive and pedagogic, boasts a globalization independent of any dominant culture. Here, the programming openly crosses aesthetics, musical traditions and the most recent movements, space and time, to promote cultural diversity and distinction. Firmly rooted in a region naturally turned toward the Mediterranean and open to the world, Les Suds offers a platform of departure for contemporary creation. Fully assuming its southern roots, the compelling programme of this exceptional festival weaves a refined musical identity, within a setting that is no less amazing! Enlivening a unique architectural heritage, the most beautiful voices and sounds in the world - from the most famous to recent discoveries – are invited into the heart of this beautiful Provençale town that becomes, for seven days and six nights, a global city. Beyond the prestigious evening concerts on the majestic stage of the Théâtre Antique, the sublime "Moments Précieux" in the Cour de l’Archevêché and "Les Nuits des Forges" that electrify the former industrial wasteland of the Ateliers, each hour of the day yields its moment of grace. From 10:00 to 4:00 in the morning, "Ptits’déj de la Radio", "Apéros-découvertes", "Siestes Musicales", "Salons de Musique", "Scènes en Ville", encounters with the artists, documentaries, workshops or master classes and other copious detours prolong a way of life characteristic of all Les Suds. Since 1996, the proliferation of ideas and diversity of emotions has been the trademark of this inevitable festival!
