Pardon My French!

After a hugely successful first event, the French Institute of Finland is back with a new episode of its musical event series “Pardon my French!”.

“Pardon My French!” is a series of DJ sets dedicated to the contemporary French music scene, organized by the Institut français de Finlande in collaboration with the coolest bars in Helsinki.

For the second part of this series, we’re meeting at Monsieur K Bar with DJ Poupée on May 9 starting from 7PM, where she will be spinning pop and alternative gems (Air, Christine & the Queens, L’Impératrice…), iconic classics from the ’60s, and unforgettable ’80s hits.

On the agenda: great music, great vibes, and new people over a little drink!

Entry to the bar is free. Grab a friend with you and get ready to discover the coolest French music!

DJ Poupée (Tatiana Järvenpää) is known for her radio show on Francophone music, Poupée de son. Through this program, she has introduced the Finnish music scene to a unique and eclectic mix of Francophone sounds, still unfamiliar to many. Her playlists feature carefully curated tracks, exploring a wide range of genres—from pop to new wave, electro to rap. Her DJ sets are like a colorful mosaic of melodies from the Francophone world, bursting with energy and surprises. Expect to hear the latest hits, along with timeless classics that always get people dancing!
