For the European heads, and especially the German and French ones, Arte has been labelled as a TV channel for old people, one that is so boring that everyone would know its primetime schedule without even checking : half the time, you would fall sleep in front of black and white films of World War II.
This is however a misleading reputation, because it totally discards the fact that Arte has also been instrumental in promoting the underground cultures and trends, provided that you could watch TV in the middle of the night. For instance, a program like "Tracks" is probably unique in the history of French/German TV.
A few years ago, Arte started making use of the internet to broadcast countless pieces of material related to music.
"Dans le Club" is my latest discovery from the Arte website.
Simply explained, it's just (and so much at the same time) artists from the French underground hip-hop scene playing their music live surrounded by a small but lively young crowd.
Those who sweated on stage are Belgian veteran Isha, Jok'Air, the multi-talented Grems, Rémy, Nusky (wow), Lefa, 13 Block, Sopico (alone with his guitar...unusual), and even the mighty DJ Pone who showed his latest tricks and tracks on the newest gear from Rane.
Enjoy those vids until... 2021. Nice use of our taxes. Sweet.
