Michael Cameron and Aude Ray reinterpret vintage-inspired French-language folk-pop songs through close vocal harmonies\, stripped-back arrangements\, and a gentle atmosphere that is both cinematic and relaxed. Their musical universe lives somewhere between memory\, the sea\, the open road\, and those emotions we feel before we can put them into words. The duo carefully selects songs that have stood the test of time—songs with memorable harmonies\, meaningful lyrics\, and choruses you thought you already knew. \n\n\n\nAbout Penny Belle \nPenny Belle is a soul-infused folk rock band performing original songs in both French and English\, featuring carefully crafted vocal arrangements\, rich harmonies\, and a vibrant brass section. Their music is joyful\, uplifting\, and fun for the whole family. Expect sing-alongs and songs that inspire reflection. \nAbout Madame B \nKimara Brilling\, also known as Madame B\, loves to sing and bring harmony to the world. Her background in film\, theatre\, and dance inspires rich\, multidimensional creations filled with creativity and sensitivity. \nLearn more about the artist – click here \n\n\n\nAbout DJ Luxine \nDJ Luxine was born from a simple observation: French-language club music is almost nonexistent\, even though it has everything it takes to move a crowd. After performing in France and later moving to Canada\, he launched a project in 2025 blending house\, techno\, and electronic music with both French and English vocals. His goal is to create energetic bilingual DJ sets where emotion matters more than language. He also performed at Plaza Franco 2025\, proving that French has a place on dance floors around the world. \nLearn more about the artist – click here \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n  URL:https://www.sfvictoria.ca/en/event/plaza-franco-duo-cameo-penny-belle-madame-b-et-dj-luxine/ LOCATION:Ship Point\, Wharf St\, Victoria\, BC V8W 1T3\, Victoria\, Colombie-Britannique\, Canada CATEGORIES:The Expressive ATTACH;FMTTYPE=image/png:https://www.sfvictoria.ca/wp-content/uploads/2026/06/Juillet-2026.png END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTART;TZID=America/Vancouver:20260627T130000 DTEND;TZID=America/Vancouver:20260627T200000 DTSTAMP:20260603T222503Z CREATED:20260603T190313Z LAST-MODIFIED:20260603T222503Z UID:21393-1782565200-1782590400@www.sfvictoria.ca SUMMARY:Francophones Around the World DESCRIPTION:In celebration of Canadian Multiculturalism Day\, join the Francophone Society of Victoria in celebrating the world’s francophone communities and all their cultures!
