A few weeks back, we announced a contest to win tickets to Ooh La L.A– a French music festival brought to you by our good friends at Goldenvoice and KCRW, showcasing bands, artists, and DJs from the Francophone world. The lucky winners will get to see L.A. RECORD favorites Tinariwen , TVOTR, KCRW darlings Nouvelle Vague, and many, many more! If you didn’t win, don’t despair! You can buy tickets here!

THE WINNER: BENJAMIN H WITH WEIRD MOD SURREALIST FRENCH POP!

Our favorite part was the duckaduckaduckaduckaduck! in place of the drum roll! Congrats and have fun at Ooh La L.A.!

But there were other awesome submissions! These included:

LAUREN G: BEAT MARK

Kind of like the French Beach Boys, oui?

PRISCILLA R: FRENCH RAP!

A strong contender!

ISAAC B: IT DOESN’T GET MUCH MORE CLASSICALLY FRENCH THAN EDITH PIAF!

Thanks so much for all the entries, we had a great time checking out some great French bands! If you didn’t win, you can buy tickets here!
