States Michele Amar, director of bureauexport New York, "This is by far the most significant presence of French artists that have performed at South By SouthWest. They are not only of the highest caliber, but they are some of the most popular recording and live acts in France right now. We are also excited about the spectrum of styles and genres that are being represented. I believe that it is an appropriate reflection of the innovation and extraordinary energy that is happening in the French music scene right now."
