Monday, July 14th is Bastille Day, la fête nationale française. The French national holiday - that’s July 4th to us Americans. The holiday “commemorates the 1790 Fête de la Fédération, held on the first anniversary of the storming of the Bastille on 14 July 1789; the anniversary of the storming of the Bastille was seen as a symbol of the uprising of the modern French nation, and of the reconciliation of all the French inside the constitutional monarchy which preceded the First Republic, during the French Revolution.” Perfect time for a mix, oui?

In other news, France’s lovely first lady Carla Bruni-Sarkozy has released a brand new album of original music (listen HERE), the Tour de France is going strong, and Carla’s husband Nicolas Sarkozy pledged to push through the new European Union’s Treaty by the end of the year during France’s six-month rotating EU presidency. France is, like, the deal and shit right now. Vive la France! To celebrate all of this we have… la musique!
