A French Music Experience!
OohLaLA! is a festival presenting the best of French modern live music as well as international featurings. Happening in Los Angeles since 2009, in 2012 the festival expanded to San Francisco, Montreal and New York. In 2013 OohLaLA! further developed its concept in London, United Kingdom, with another three-days festival.
OohLaLA! was created by Sylvain Taillet – Head of A&R of the French label Barclay/Universal Music France with the support of the French General Consulate in Los Angeles. Since its start in Los Angeles, OohLaLA! is co-produced by Goldenvoice, the main American West Coast promoter and presented by one of the biggest independent music radio of the USA, KCRW.
OohLaLA! is expanding since 2012 thanks to Marion Chapdelaine - international coordinator, to San Francisco (Great American Music Hall), NYC (Highline Ballroom), Montreal (Evenko) and in 2013 to London, with the help of French Music Bureau Export, the promoter 2 For The Road Productions and the online magazine The Line Of Best Fit.
OohLaLA! features the best of the French music acts, whether they are established ones in North America and United Kingdom (SEBASTIEN TELLIER, GOTAN PROJECT, NOUVELLE VAGUE, TINARIWEN, LOU DOILLON) famous in France but attempting to break through (FAUVE, ROVER, REVOLVER, THE DO) or new indie detections (KAVINSKY, LESCOP, JAMAICA, MOODOID, THE BEWITCHED HANDS, PETIT FANTOME, MELISSA LAVEAUX, CHRISTINE & THE QUEENS), as well as international acts (AU-REVOIR SIMONE, CITIZENS, THOMAS AZIER).
