“Culture broth. Sud Ouest offers you a selection from among the multitude of meetings in Sud-Gironde. Our main criteria, that they are out of the ordinary and that they are accessible to as many people as possible. First of all, heritage is not just about old stones. For the second consecutive year, the association of Friends of the master percussionist (AMP) Jacky Craissac… offers Escaudes, an exhibition on the career of this atypical musician… For the first time is added to the event, a representation of the duo Luzia”
