Put on music.

意味

🌍

文化的背景

The 'Fête de la Musique' (June 21st) is a national event where everyone is encouraged to 'mettre la musique' in the streets. It's a day where the usual noise complaints are ignored. In Quebec, while 'mettre la musique' is standard, you might also hear 'partir la musique' (to start the music), which is a regional variation. In countries like Senegal or Ivory Coast, music is often played very loudly in public transport (car rapides/gbaka). 'Mettre la musique' is a constant part of the commute. Young people often use 'mettre du son' instead of 'la musique'. It sounds more modern and implies a focus on the beat and volume.

💡

The Partitive Article

Use 'mettre DE LA musique' if you just want some background noise, and 'mettre LA musique' if you are referring to a specific playlist or the music for a specific event.

⚠️

Avoid 'Jouer'

Never say 'jouer la musique' for a CD or Spotify. It's the #1 giveaway that you are translating from English.

'Mettre' is the act of starting it. 'Passer' is often used for DJs or radio hosts who are playing a sequence of songs.
