La fête de la musique à Paris.

♬ son original - Brut.

🎶 “Ella, elle l’a”—she has it.

That spark, that soul, that rhythm that can’t be taught. As Music Day 2025 unites the world in a symphony of voices, France Gall’s timeless tribute to Ella Fitzgerald becomes more than a song—it becomes a heartbeat.

In a celebration that spans continents and cultures, this anthem reminds us that music is not just heard—it’s felt. It’s the fire in a jazz riff, the sway of a samba, the hush before a choir’s first note. It’s that je ne sais quoi that lives in every street performance, every rooftop serenade, every shared beat.

Let “Ella, elle l’a” echo through your celebration as a reminder: the magic of music is in the soul that dares to sing.

🎶🎤 💃 🌍 ✨ 🎷 🤝 🔊 Ella, Elle L'a - by France Gall

---

Every June 21st, the world tunes in to a single, universal frequency—music.

What began in 1982 as a bold experiment on the streets of Paris has blossomed into a global chorus of creativity, spontaneity, and joy.

From Tokyo’s subways to São Paulo’s samba alleys, from Irish choirs to Afrobeat block parties in Paris, Music Day is more than a festival—it’s a living, breathing symphony of humanity.

In 2025, with over 120 countries joining the rhythm, we don’t just hear music—we become it.

🎼 Origins of a Sonic Revolution

It all began in 1982, when Paris decided to let the streets sing. Inspired by a surprising statistic—that half of France’s youth played instruments—Culture Minister Jack Lang and music visionary Maurice Fleuret composed a new kind of national anthem: one of spontaneity, inclusion, and joy. On June 21, the summer solstice, music spills from balconies like Debussy’s notes on a breeze, echoing through alleyways and plazas. It’s not just a concert—it’s a grassroots crescendo. Today, over 120 countries join the chorus, proving that one idea can spark a global symphony.

“Music is the shorthand of emotion.” — Leo Tolstoy

🍀 Sounds of the Green Isle

Ireland adds its own lyrical verse to this global composition. With support from the French Embassy and cultural partners, cities like Dublin, Cork, Wexford, and Limerick become living scores. Picture jazz trios riffing like Coltrane in historic art centres, French-speaking choirs harmonizing in community halls, and open-air screenings of Amélie or The Umbrellas of Cherbourg casting cinematic magic across cobbled streets. The Irish twist? A poetic blend of sean-nós soul and street spontaneity that dances perfectly with the festival’s improvisational spirit.

🗼 Paris in Performance

The City of Light becomes the City of Sound. In the 13th arrondissement, Parc de Choisy pulses with a block party worthy of a Basquiat mural—street food, Afrobeat, and DJ sets that blur borders. At the Louvre Gardens, icons like Christine and the Queens and Jeanne Added take the stage, their voices rising like brushstrokes across a Monet sky. Later, Major Lazer Soundsystem and Miss Monique ignite the night with a sonic light show under the stars. And beneath Pont Louis-Philippe, Afro House rhythms ripple across the Seine like a Ravel bolero.

🎉 Playful Notes from Around the World

Whimsy is the festival’s secret instrument. In rural France, cows are serenaded with cellos and accordions—Bach for bovines. In Tokyo, one unforgettable year saw ukulele players dressed as bananas strumming Beatles classics in a subway station, a surrealist nod to both Dali and Lennon. In São Paulo, samba dancers and street painters collaborate in real time, turning alleyways into living murals. Somewhere right now, a kazoo is leading a parade, and someone’s painting to the beat of Björk.

🤲 One Beat, One World

This day isn’t just about music—it’s about what music makes possible. A shared rhythm between strangers. A duet that bridges languages. A crowd swaying in sync like reeds in a Satie nocturne. Whether you’re humming in Cork, tapping along in Paris, or vibing in your Dublin flat with Nina Simone on vinyl, you’re part of something immense and beautifully human. Let’s dance like the world is one big band—and every heart is a drum.
