Looking for a new genre to redirect his musical aspirations, Vincent Moon has branched out to all corners of the world to expose local musicians to the traditional western audience. Typically blanketed under the insufficiently described banner of “World Music,” a Sao Paulo rooftop musician, a street performer in Chinatown, a folk singer in Buenos Aires, and a cello player in Rio are a sample of artists Moon will profile with his new label, Petites Planètes.
The project, solely funded from donations, will see an update every Friday, with both the films and soundtrack available for download for free under a CC license. Go to www.petitesplanetes.cc for a look at this fantastic new series.
