Electropical DJ Marc Fournier debuts a weekly evening of exotic music and cocktail culture this Friday at the Tiki Bar of the Waldorf Hotel.
“For many years, I’ve been dreaming of a place where I could share my passion for all the eclectic music I discover, listen to and love,” Marc says.
“A place full of soul and friends. A place for gatherings, conversations and good company bathed in sounds from everywhere on the planet and anytime in history.”
“A place to stop by on Friday after work where I can have a drink, relax, meet some friends and plan a weekend in town or in the country or in an airport lounge in Polynesia in the 50’s.”
