In 2016, AJC is offering a new development to the project: 4 bands are now selected and will receive an artistic and professional support: residencies, training sessions. From now on, AJC will also be in charge of booking these bands in France and in Europe.
On 1st December 2015, an opening concert has been held at the Dynamo de Banlieues Bleues in Pantin, while both public and professionals could come and hear this year’s laureates, before they embark on their tour of over 60 scenes in France and Europe.
