Voix des Femmes: a celebration of women’s voices

This year, Maury hosts its annual celebration of female artists on the 9th and 10th of June

35km from Perpignan, the town of Maury is best known for its sweet, fortified wine or as the gateway to the spectacular 10th century fortress, Quéribus. But each year, in June, music lovers descend on the picturesque little town for a weekend of the very best in female produced and performed music.

Now in its 17th edition, Voix des Femmes is a firm favourite on the festival circuit, kick-starting the summer season with a host of talented artists. Maury Maire, Charles Chivilo, explains the festival’s ethos is about rejuvenation and reflection, new horizons and new perspectives. This year’s line up certainly embodies this philosophy with Deluxe, a genre-melding, high-energy, mustachioed ensemble topping the bill on Saturday.

Also on offer: pop, rock, soul, funk, house, blues, jazz, reggae… not to mention a wide variety of local, organic goodies to keep you dancing all night.
