Every June 21st we French celebrate music, anyone feeling like playing something can go in the street and start playing all day and all night long. I hit the streets hoping to find some good music and have a good time.
Music is not celebrated on June 21st in La Reunion, it is celebrated the week-end before to allow everyone to enjoy the party as much as possible. It is a good idea but it kills a little bit the original idea of celebrating music on the first day of summer. You end up having almost no music to listen to outside on the 21st because the celebration already happened and most people are back in there routine. Saint Gilles is considered the Saint Tropez of La Reunion, it is nice and quite little town were everything is expensive for no reason. I expected the 21st to be a little bit lively but it was dead. To be fair there was a live band in a bar on the beach and a DJ was mixing in a bar on the main street. I thought that the music celebration in Tahiti was the worst but Saint Gilles is in fact the worst place for this celebration.
will have to go and see how music is celebrated in Europeans countries, it is certain that it will be better than in Tahiti and Saint Gilles.
