30 Minute Commuter Mix (Sep 15/23) - Electro (Top 40/Pop)

Dans ce nouvel épisode, je vous emmène dans l’univers de l’artiste autochtone Greyson Gritt, alias G.R Gritt pour la scène. 

Musicien, conteur et défenseur des droits des autochtones et des minorités, Greyson aime s’aventurer sur de nouveaux territoires  pour mieux se retrouver.  

Du blues folk de ses débuts, à l'électro pop de son nouvel album, en passant par un duo remarqué avec une chanteuse de gorge traditionnelle, G.R Gritt explore les possibilités sans jamais déroger à sa ligne : des textes forts et engagés qui évoquent un passé douloureux. 

Anashinabe metis, Greyson se présente comme un artiste francophone,  transgenre, non binaire et bispirituel. 

Pendant ce voyage sonore, nous parlons de sa quête pour se reconnecter à son peuple et à lui-même, du violon de sa grand-mère... mais aussi de sa voix qu’il pensait perdue…

Bon vol en terres autochtones avec CanadAir,  le balado du Centre culturel canadien à Paris.

English version

In this new episode, we discover the universe of Indigenous artist Greyson Gritt, alias G.R Gritt.

A musician, storyteller and defender of Indigenous and minority rights, Greyson love exploring new territories to find themself.

From the blues folk of his beginnings, to the electro pop of their new album, without forgetting their duo with a traditional throat singer, G.R Gritt explore without ever straying too far from their core made of strong and engaged texts that evoke a painful past.

Anashinabe metis, Greyson present  themselves as a French-speaking, transgender, non-binary and two-spirited artist.

In this musical journey, we talk about their quest to reconnect with their people and themself, about their grandmother’s violin and also about the voice they thought they had lost.

We hope you enjoy this new voyage to Canada’s indigenous lands on board Canad’AIR, the Podcast of the Canadian Cultural Centre in Paris.

Picture it: you’re taking in a show from a cool local band. The lead singer rocks a blonde mullet and one long earring, and the petite keyboardist dances and harmonizes along. The music is upbeat, danceable pop, filled with synthesizers. If you think you’ve been transported back to the 1980’s, guess again. It’s 2018, and this is Moonbeau, a Cincinnati-based band giving you layered music and fun performances you can’t help but dance along with. Their love for nostalgia and new wave is evident, but their sound is still distinctly modern. Paired with relatable lyrics and foot-tapping rhythms, hear them once and you won’t soon forget Moonbeau. 

Originally a one-man-band project by frontman Christian Gough, Moonbeau now plays as a foursome, including Claire Muenchen, the aforementioned keyboardist with impressive vocal chops herself, Alex Murphy-White on drums, and Kyle Kubiak playing bass. 

Though their sound and look are retro, they’re actively looking forward. Several of their singles are already available to stream, including the winsome love songs, "Are We In Love Yet?", (which was featured on an episode of MTV’s Catfish last year) and "Like The Night." The latter includes adorably catchy lyrics like, "I see stars when you’re on my mind, and you’re on my mind all the time." (The romantic side of their songs is no surprise when you learn that Gough and Muenchen are engaged to be married. Insert all the heart emojis here.) 

Set list:

• "Complicated"
• "Lover/Fighter"
• - interview -
• "Like the Night"
