“Et si tu chantais Ă Sainte-Lucie pour la fĂȘte de la musique 2025 ” (What if you sing in Saint Lucia for the 2025 music festival?) is the name of an innovative cultural project designed to strengthen artistic cooperation in the Caribbean. This slogan, which has become the official name of the program, invites young talent from Martinique to experience a regional musical adventure, through an unprecedented springboard between Schoelcher and Castries. Imagine: you, a young singer, guitar in hand, boarding the Capo Rosso to rock the Saint Lucia stage at the biggest musical event of the year.
A Caribbean dynamic supported by the FĂȘte de la Musique 2025
A pilot cooperation project
“Et si tu chantais Ă Sainte-Lucie pour la fĂȘte de la musique 2025 ” is much more than a simple invitation. It’s a structuring project between Martinique and Saint Lucia, designed to strengthen the circulation of talent and the region’s cultural roots. The fĂȘte de la musique 2025 becomes a strategic framework for developing sustainable artistic exchanges, with a particular focus on young solo artists aged 18 to 28.

A long-term vision
“Et si tu chantais Ă Sainte-Lucie pour la fĂȘte de la musique 2025” is part of a sustainable approach. This springboard aims to multiply residencies, regional co-productions and collaborations between artists from the islands, while anchoring the fĂȘte de la musique in a coherent cultural project on a Caribbean scale.
A springboard for young people
Beyond the stage, this project represents a training and structuring experience for young artists. Performing in Saint Lucia in a professional context, sharing the stage with musicians from other territories, exchanging experiences, also means learning how to build a career while reinforcing a Caribbean artistic identity.
“Et si tu chantais Ă Sainte-Lucie pour la fĂȘte de la musique 2025” is a pioneering initiative. It links institutions, territories and young people through music, while opening up a whole new field of expression for Martinican artists. At a time when the Caribbean is rethinking its cooperation, the FĂȘte de la Musique 2025 is a catalyst for boldness, creativity and lasting ties.
