If you have never visited La Blogotheque, you must do so immediately. This French website is a haven for music lovers. It is run by numerous bloggers whose slogan – “Musique, partage sont deux mots qui vont très bien ensemble” – means “Music, sharing are two words that go very well together.” The site is all about bringing music to the public. The best part of La Blogotheque (in my opinion) are Les Concerts À Emporter or, The Take Away Shows. These are live videos of artists performing in every day locations; in the streets, under bridges, in supermarkets, and even in a cable car. The videos are unedited with the goal being “to try and capture instants, film the music just like it happens, without preparation, without tricks.” It is live music in its purest form. A handful of IODA artists have been invited to play a Take Away Show and today we wanted to bring you some of their performances. To read the entire feature, click on the artist’s name. Here’s to raw and flat-out great music!
