Francophone Festival, June 19th 2010, 12PM to 9PM

A musical fest to please everybody!
Kingston, May 19th 2010– The Centre culturel Frontenac (CCF) intend to
present a musical fest rich in musical diversity for the 2010 edition of
the Francophone Festival. With some oriental-tasty hip-hop with Kingston
native artist XLA, followed by 100% Ontarian French pop music with Stef
Paquette and with the groove master Béta, it's a sumptuous and plentiful
cultural meal that the CCF offers you on a silver tray.
Again this year, the Francophone Festival will be celebrated in the
heart of downtown Kingston, at Confederation Park, by the beautiful Lake
Ontario and in front of City Hall. All family activities and shows will
be held from 12PM to 9PM. Wear some green, the francophony's color,
bring your friends and come dance, sing and have fun with us on that day!

XLA is considered as one of the most promising artist. From his earliest
childhood, he stands as a person who likes to try many artistic
instruments, learning piano, guitar, drums, and table (Egyptian
percussion). XLA's show presents hip-hop music, with a nice touch of
Middle East, which will surely make you dance.
