The team made up of two Parisian pre-teens are a hit with this innovative musical game, based on voice recognition.
The concept is simple: each participant is equipped with a smartphone.
As soon as the player recognizes the singer of the title broadcast, he can press the phone, pronounce the name of the artist and his answer is then recorded directly in the application.
