FESTIVAL banlieues bleues 2025

Aftermovie video of the 2025 edition of Banlieues Bleues, the festival of Afro-descendant music in Seine-Saint-Denis. Every spring for over 40 years, this unmissable event has brought four weeks of concerts, encounters, and bold artistic creations to the cities of northeastern Paris. Banlieues Bleues explores the living territories of jazz and all the music associated with it: urban, electronic, improvised, and more. This video captures the singular energy of the festival, the richness of its programming, the diversity of its venues and the commitment of its audience.
