Corsica 2015//Part III
10:07Hey,
During the second week of our holiday, Saint Florent were holding their annual festival called Porto Latino. It's about a week long and includes a four day music festival. We attended the third day of the festival and saw a number of different artists. It was held at the Citadelle which is basically an old castle-like monument which has a brilliant view over the harbor at Saint Florent.
The second band was Metronomy who are actually quite a popular band here in the UK. The group consists of 3 guys and a girl on drums (which is pretty fckin cool if you ask me). They're a electro-pop, trippy kinda band and I'd have to say that it is definitely a acquired taste of music, my mum and brother weren't particularly huge fans, whereas my dad and I were loving it! They played songs from their album 'Love Letters' and a couple from their previous albums. They also had a crack at speaking some french during the performance which was actually quite good!
During the whole four days there were street artists painting the streets to celebrate the festival. By the final day, one whole stretch of the street was covered in bright, colourful art. It was lovely to see everyone getting excited about the festival and showing their passion for it this way.
