WHAT IS FRANCOMUSIQUE ????
French-speaking music is currently in high demand in Germany. Artists like Zaz, Yelle, Nolwenn Leroy, Stromae, and Sexion d’Assaut are bringing the language of Molière to music lovers all over the world. Is language a musical barrier? Does language set musical limits? Do some of your favorite artists sing in a foreign language? The FrancoMusiques Tour presents the most exciting French acts: Don’t miss the new Brel, the new Gainsbourg, or the new Zaz!
For the past 6 years, a Francomusiques sampler has been released annually by Cornelsen (a textbook publisher) and bureauexport (the export office for French music), which has found its way into classrooms across Germany through French teachers — is there a better way to learn another language than through music? The Francomusique Tour is therefore a logical step to experience language live.

Artist Info BURIDANE:
Initially performing alone with her guitar in Lyon and the surrounding area, then already as a duo and finally on tour as a full band. Buridane, who has played over 200 concerts and received various awards, takes every opportunity to develop her music and her extraordinary style.
Buridane sensitively tells of both the more trivial and the more serious, violent moments in her life, which often blend into one another. She tirelessly searches for the right nuance, the right tone. It is not easy to say whether the title "Le Serment" is about physical or emotional violence, or whether "Jusqu’òù petite" tells of an unwanted pregnancy or a serious illness... Even the seemingly cheerful single release "Badaboum" is, according to Buridane, born from a rather questionable enthusiasm.
After Buridane found her balance between music and content, all that was left was to record the album. The first crucial step in this direction was certainly her meeting with "La Bonne Equipe". A year later, she decided to collaborate with Pierre Jaconelli, which seemed like an enlightenment to her, not because he had worked with Benjamin Biolay, but because he understood, as she said, what the main thing was.
So now she stands at the center, accompanied by a sparkling guitar and her musicians, who subtly underscore her crystal-clear voice as she whispers profound, gentle, and bitter stories into our ears. This is all Buridane and reflects an undeniable maturity that she has gained throughout her artistic career. Buridane was also inspired in her self-discovery as an artist by the philosopher Buridane and his parable of the interrelationships between will and intellect ...
Artist Info ASKEHOUG
?...fine chamber punk with nonsense and irony.” (Hannoversche Allgemeine Zeitung)
Caution! Askehoug – with a K – is the name of the band. The musician's name is Matthieu Aschehoug – with a CH! Many consider him to be – to put it mildly – a bit crazy! The free thinker counters that his art is simply a special form of poetry, which he encountered in his search for beauty.
In any case, no one can easily outdo the Frenchman when it comes to self-irony and quirky poetry! He named his last album "Je te tuerai un jeudi" (I will kill you on a Thursday). A quirky form of love declaration!
He is often compared to Alain Bashung, the Beastie Boys, or Arthur H. However, the singer with the distinctive mustache has developed his own, unmistakable style. With a deep voice, stunning spoken word, and a lot of joy in experimentation, the singer-songwriter delivers poetic, sometimes slightly risqué, and sometimes very serious lyrics, embedded in a rocky-jazzy chanson. Or is it more chanson-esque rock?
Whatever the genre may be called: Matthieu Aschehoug, who accompanies himself on guitar and piano, is supported in his project by Niko "le K" on drums and James Sindatry on double bass. The trio achieves a rhythmically refined sound, where charming lightness and sustained pressure are in balance. This was also appreciated by the jury members who awarded the album the "Georges Moustaki Prize 2013".
Askehoug has proven their live qualities on both small and large stages. The unusual performance has been able to captivate every audience so far, which can be verified on the FrancoMusiques Live! Tour.
