There was truly magic in the air this past 14 juillet at Central Park in NYC to feel the heat but even more so, the performances of Magic System, Laurie Darmon, IAM, among others that brought the heat.
La nuit began with Les Cadets Lafayette singing La Marseillaise and continued with some of their Afro-Cuban hits, such as Noix Coco, they really seemed to love their noix de coco!
Then there was certainly magic in the air when Magic System represented L’Afrique surtout La Côte d’Ivoire singing their back to back hits — Akwaba, Premier Gaou, Magic in the Air and many more.
Their set was followed by Laurie Darmon who made us fall in love again and think about calling that ex, don’t do it!
We chatted with a couple of Frenchies,
Et puis we hip to the hop with IAM from Marseille!
We partied a bit, bah oui, we had too!
It was just a night of joie de vivre, chansons et danses- all great ingredients that make up a formidable fete!
And as our new Consul General, Cedrik Fouriscot of France in New York sums it up…liberté, égalité, fraternité.
