HAPPY BEATS
This Saturday at 10pm on @4zzzfm Zed Digital, we're bringing you nothing but feel-good francophone energy!
From Stefie Shock's infectious spleen-fighting anthem to Plastic Bertrand's legendary Belgian punk classic "Ça Plane Pour Moi", this episode is all about tracks that make you move and smile.
We're featuring the stunning Lamomali collective collaboration "Totem" with -M-, Yamê, Fatoumata Diawara, and the legendary Toumani Diabaté – a perfect blend of Malian traditions and contemporary French hip-hop.
Plus: Therapie TAXI's "Friendzone", Juliette Armanet's disco-tinged banger, Hervé's dance floor gem "Si bien du mal", and fresh tracks from Hoshi, Adé, La Femme, and more.
Cultural Moment: Did you know "Ça Plane Pour Moi" (1977) was one of the first European punk hits sung entirely in French? Plastic Bertrand's Belgian new wave anthem became a global phenomenon and remains one of the most recognisable francophone songs worldwide.
