In connection with the ORGANIZER: Li' RéeL is a structure dedicated to promotion of
Japanese artists in France and more particularly in the musical field.
Since 2001 it organizes evenings having for goal
to make known various musical currents come from Japan.
- J-Rock'n'roll session (second Tuesday of each month: Rock'n'roll, Punk,
Pop-Rock'n'roll, Magnet, Ska...)
- Japan Underground (each second and fourth Thursday of the month:
Visual Kei, Metal, Hardcore...)
- Japanese Mekanics (more recent and not yet regular:Electro-Goth, Indus,
Techno...)
Another means for Real Li' of ensuring the promotion of
the artists is the organization of events such as concerts,
exposures... In 2002, a first concert was organized in
Paris gathering two French groups and the Japanese duet Eve of Destiny
(at the head of poster). Today the structure works with an aim
of organizing this type of events again. With eager Japanese
artists to occur in Europe but also Westerners whose universe
influences, approaches, or takes as a starting point the the culturne
nippone.
