Les chants de Noël de la mer

As the festive season approaches, the Département is organizing the 34th edition of Chants de Noël, with no fewer than 59 free concerts across the region. From gospel and sea shanties to Corsican and Brazilian traditions, Broadway and Louisiana, the 2026 program invites audiences to celebrate Christmas from every corner of the world.

For the holiday season, Radio Babel Marseille reinvents Christmas songs through its distinctive vocal world. Blending polyphony, beatboxing and guitar, the group’s five voices revisit the maritime traditions of Provence, Corsica, Brittany and the Caribbean in original arrangements that bring popular heritage and contemporary creativity into conversation. The voices take turns becoming a choir, percussion and an instrument, shaping a warm, unifying performance. A festive tribute to the spirit of Christmas, this creation celebrates the universal values of the maritime world: solidarity, memory, travel and hope. An invitation to share and escape, where the magic of the holidays takes on the sounds of the Mediterranean and beyond.
